Her Perfect Twin, the forthcoming debut novel from Sarah Bonner, has been given a fantastic endorsement from My Lovely Wife author, Samantha Downing:

Fantastic news that the 6th Ari Thor book by Icelandic author Ragnar Jónasson, Winterkill, was the no.1 best selling crime novel in France last week!

In addition, Ragnar has been confirmed to appear at this year's Cheltenham Literary Festival on Saturday 9th October, in conversation with fellow novelist Will Dean. To book your tickets, click here.


Published just over a week ago, L. C. Tyler's new John Grey mystery, Too Much of Water, has picked up a review over on Classic Mystery blog:

"It’s thrilling, it’s witty, it’s a complex mystery and it delves into a part of history that I know next to nothing about. The characters are numerous but distinctive, each adding to the tale, each being viable suspects ... it is one of the finest series of historical mysteries out there."

Stuart Turton - author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - took part in the Daily Mail's 'What Book?' feature last week, to mark his shortlisting for the Goldsboro Book Glass Bell Award, for his second novel, The Devil and the Dark Water. 

The winner of the Glass Bell will be announced on the 30th September.


Persecution, the third in R. C. Bridgestock's popular DI Charley Mann series, was published last week in eBook and paperback. 

Lock your windows ... Lock your doors ... And don't look outside.

At the local university a series of incidents is raising alarm. Someone is breaking into students bedrooms through the windows.

But things get even more serious when a corpse is discovered on the outskirts of town. DI Charley Mann, dealing with her own problems, is drafted in to investigate. At first there doesn’t seem to be a connection, but Charley suspects otherwise.

Following the evidence draws Charley into a web of shady local characters struggling at the margins. It seems the break-ins are no random event. Worse, more lives are at stake.

On her own, and facing a stand off, Charley will have to find a way through. It’s either that, or more people will die…

Finally, we could not be happier to announce that the debut from Thomas D. Lee, Perilous Times (plus another title), has been bought by Little, Brown imprint, Orbit, in a three-way auction. Jenni Hill bought UK & Commonwealth rights from Harry Illingworth, with US rights pre-empted in a six-figure deal by Ballantine and German rights sold to Heyne at auction. 

​Perilous Times is billed as a "sharply witty and relevant" novel which mixes Arthurian legend with contemporary fantasy. An extract of the novel was originally submitted as Lee's MA dissertation, which was awarded a distinction and won the PFD Prize for Best Fiction in 2019. It will be published by Orbit in early 2023.
