New event, part of Scottish Book Week! Words and whisky with @johnsutherland.bsky.social Venue: Ink & Quill independent bookshop, Montrose. We’d love for you to join us: tickets here: inkandquill.co.uk/products/wor...

Putting together a few questions for my event @bloodyscotland.bsky.social a week on Saturday. Anything you'd like to hear fromAlex Gray, @neillancaster66.bsky.social, @johnsutherland.bsky.social Graeme Macrae Burnett? bloodyscotland.com/event/watchi...

Just finished The Castle by @johnsutherland.bsky.social. What a cracking read - and set in my neck of the woods! Have tried Tomintoul whisky, must try Ballindalloch now. (Interesting to compare police negotiating with what I remember from HMPS. Lots of similarities, but a few key differences.)

Booking now open for this fantastic event on Sat 20 Sept featuring @emmaflint.bsky.social @johnsutherland.bsky.social @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social @stephmcgovern.bsky.social @fionacumminsauthor.bsky.social @mjarlidge.bsky.social & @chrisewan.bsky.social 🤩 tinyurl.com/The-word-is-...

THE CASTLE by John Sutherland is out today with @orionbooks.bsky.social "THE CASTLE is a thriller written by one who knows. It's authentic, atmospheric, beautifully plotted with characters you want to succeed." - Mari Hannah @johnsutherland.bsky.social www.orionbooks.co.uk/titles/john-...
