We welcomed two new clients to the agency this week. 

Rebecca Griffiths joins Broo Doherty's list, and Sarah Jackson will be represented by Harry Illingworth.

Rebecca grew up in mid-Wales and went on to gain a first class honours degree in English literature. After a successful business career in London, Dublin and Scotland, she returned to rural mid-Wales where she now lives with her husband, a prolific artist, four vampiric cats and pet sheep the size of sofas. 

Sarah is an ecologist specialising in botany and has a keen human-wildlife coexistence, conservation, climate change and microplastics pollution. Her job has taken her all around the UK, and provides plenty of inspiration for her wiring. Before completing a Masters in Conservation Ecology at Oxford Brookes University, Sarah studied Psychology and Criminology at Cardiff University.

Femi Kayode took part in an interview for University of East Anglia's blog and you can catch up with it here. 

In 2018, Femi - a previous creative writing student of UAE - won the Little, Brown award for his debut crime fiction novel Lightseekers, which was subsequently snapped up for publication by Bloomsbury's Raven imprint. 

The book is out in February 2021 and is the first in the Philip Taiwo series. 

Three young students are brutally murdered in a Nigerian university town, their killings - and their killers - caught on social media. The world knows who murdered them; what no one knows is why.


Congratulations to Jean Levy who, last week, saw the publication of her new psychological thriller, Other Women. 

​Sophie thought she and Jonah were happy, bringing up their small daughter together, until one summer's day, she discovers that Jonah is far from the man she thought he was. Sam - an attractive English teacher - seems to offer her some comfort, and new friendships are a support. But is Sam really who he says he is? Where have her new friends appeared from? Is anyone telling the truth? As Jonah's lies threaten Sophie and her daughter, can anyone be trusted?

Also published last week was L. C. Tyler's new John Grey mystery, Death of a Shipbuilder. This is the sixth in the series, and true to form, it is fabulously gritty and a fantastic addition to the series. 

It has already picked up a brilliant review from Classic Mystery blog:

"What is ultimately chilling about the whole thing though is that while nothing in the plot is so odd that it couldn’t have happened, as per the author’s afterword, almost all of it actually did. Len has used these events to produce another outstanding historical tale. This series of historical crime tales is definitely one that should be on your must-read list."

​You can read the whole review here.



We received lovely news over the weekend that Private Moscow has hit the no.10 spot in the UK charts, and no.1 over in ANZ (Australia / New Zealand). 

The book, written by James Patterson and client Adam Hamdy, is the fifteenth in the Private series and this time sees Jack Morgan head to Moscow to uncover a conspiracy that, if true, could have consequences felt all over the world.

Carys Jones' new psychological thriller, The List, is just over a month away from its paperback publication and we were delighted over the weekend to see this brilliant pre-pub quote from fellow author Lesley Kara:

"I can't put it down ... addictive reading."

Five names on a list. The first two are dead. The third is yours. Pre-order your copy here.


Finally, it was announced this week that Stuart Turton's next book, The Devil and the Dark Water has been chosen for one of the seven books that will be featured in the new BBCTwo show, Between the Covers.

The show, to be hosted by Sara Cox, will launch on Friday 9th October and feature seven weekly thirty-minute-long episodes. 

In a week where it was also announced that the audiobook for this nautical mind-bending mystery will be narrated by actor Julia Rhind-Tutt, we couldn't be more pleased for Stu.
