What an incredible start to 2026: an Amazon bestseller, hundreds of four- and five-star reviews, and the first three books in my murder-mystery whodunnit series published within six months of each other.

In fact, the third, From Murder With Love, isn’t actually out until July, and there’s still time to join the live launch party (see the Events page for more details). But I couldn't have asked for a more exciting start to the series, and it’s all thanks to the wonderful folks who have picked up a copy of Murder by the Book or A Game of Murder (or both) and fallen in love with the Cosy Crime Club.

January’s series opener, Murder by the Book, shot to the top of two separate Amazon charts – amateur sleuths and cosy mysteries – while A Game of Murder has been getting even better reviews since its publication in March. I’m delighted to say both are available throughout June for 99p on Kindle, just in case you want to catch up on the intrepid book-loving foursome before they jump headlong into their latest adventure.

As its name implies, From Murder With Love hints at links to a certain spy franchise, and if you’re wondering how four bookish misfits from a small-town English backwater end up transported into the world of global espionage, art forgeries and rooftop train chases, then get your pre-order in now!
