“The Queen of Wonderfully Messy Twists” may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me. Lol.

Sunday Times Crime Fiction Round-Up 20 April 2025 The Note by @alafairburke.bsky.social A weekend in #TheHamptons goes terribly wrong... tripfiction.com/books/the-no... #travelbybook @faberbooks.bsky.social #booksky

A thing that made me happy: The great @alafairburke.bsky.social discusses WHAT REMAINS OF ME with Polly Stewart in @crimereads.bsky.social -- and makes me think, "Hey, that sounds like a book I would like!" crimereads.com/backlist-ala...

May has always been the good girl. But even good girls have secrets. When she reunites with her best friends for a holiday in the Hamptons, a drunken joke lands the trio in the middle of a missing persons investigation... The Note by @alafairburke.bsky.social is out 24 April in paperback.

Thrilled to see that THE NOTE is Oprah Daily’s #1 pick for spring’s most spine tingling thrillers!! www.oprahdaily.com/entertainmen...

They only break your heart once, and ours are truly broken. For nearly 13 happy and healthy years, Double's love, loyalty, curiosity, and humor were an unmistakeable part of our daily life. The end was sudden, which hurt us terribly, but kept him from suffering. Hug your fur family today for us.

An easy #read with @alafairburke.bsky.social at the height of her powers, this #book delivers 😮 A definite dark side to the #story yet many will relate to a trio of #friends on #vacation in the Hamptons whose #revenge prank spectacularly misfires. My #bookreview: www.instagram.com/share/p/BAHr...

What a dream to be this weekend's New York Times By the Book author. Am I the first to cite Encyclopedia Brown and Flowers in the Attic? Maybe. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/b...

Note this was meant to post earlier but there was an error: Next on our #LibraryReads January 2025 list is THE NOTE: A NOVEL by Alafair Burke (Knopf).

Maureen Corrigan's Washington Post review of THE NOTE has me completely over the moon. "As a storyteller, Burke is a master knot maker...It’s impossible to give a sense of how very clever the plot of “The Note” is ..." www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

New York area: I'll be talking about THE NOTE with the always brilliant @meganabbott.bsky.social on Monday, January 6, at the Upper West Side Barnes & Noble at 7 pm. Please join us. With Megan around, I can promise it will be a terrific conversation! stores.barnesandnoble.com/event/978006...

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. I wish you all the happiest holiday season and happy new year. Thank you so much for your friendship!

"The Last Word" by @ellygriffiths.bsky.social features characters addicted to Wordle. "The Note" by @alafairburke.bsky.social has characters who play Spelling Bee to the Queen Bee level daily. So when will a crime author write a novel with characters Obsessed with with Strands or Connections?

18 degrees out but trying to cope like these two.

Can’t believe I’m telling folks the embarrassing story behind my new book, THE NOTE. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
