A couple of our books graced the 'Best Books' lists this week, and naturally we're very proud!
Winterkill, which was published this week, and is the 6th in Ragnar Jónasson's Dark Iceland series, was selected as the Sunday Times' Crime Novel of the Month. It also picked up these rather wonderful endorsements:
"The result is a sinister “twisted tragedy”. If one sentence epitomises the series it’s this: “Alone in the darkness, trapped in a maelstrom of memories." The Times
"Jónasson’s outstanding final Dark Iceland mystery ... Series fans will be sorry to see the last of Ari Thór." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A perfect winter read. Loved this book." Will Dean

In more devil-ishly good news (don't @ us), The Devil and the Dark Water has today had some INCREDIBLY exciting news announced: it is being turned into a series for Netflix. The move is part of Netflix's plan to acquire and script seven new projects (seven is clearly their lucky number...). The show will be written by Sophie Petzal and will be combined of seven (!!) hour-long episodes.

When authors support other authors, it really is so thrilling to see, so we were more chuffed than ever when we saw Will Dean (Dark Pines, Red Snow) had endorsed a few of the DHH books (including Ragnar Jónasson's Winterkill, above):
Lightseekers by Femi Kayode:
"What a sensational debut. Confident, beautifully-paced writing. Dr Philip Taiwo is a protagonist I want to meet again, and the setting (a Nigerian university town) is so well-drawn. Intelligent, suspenseful and utterly engrossing."
The Art of Death by David Fennell:
"A hugely compelling procedural thriller set in London. Unsettling, fast-paced, suspenseful and gripping. Loved the way the cityscape was rendered (I miss London!) EXCELLENT."

Finally, we are absolutely over the moon for Phillipa Ashley, who this week saw her 25th book, A Surprise Christmas Wedding, hit the Sunday Times paperback bestseller chart at no.6. Congratulations, Phillipa!
