A very special evening at the Lincoln Assembly Rooms chatting to @alexhaybooks.bsky.social about his wonderful novel, ‘The Queen of Fives’, for Lindum Books. Victorian con women, the sensation novel, and of course Alex’s brilliant articulation of his writing approaches - we covered a lot 😊

This has kept me company on the train this week — loved it! Tense, clever, filled with wry observations and claw-sharp plotting — and gorgeous writing. Sevenoaks has never felt so seductively dangerous! Can’t wait to see where @kitconwayauthor.bsky.social goes next… 🔥😻🙌 #CatFight

We have just 3 #SIGNED editions of The Queen of Fives by @alexhaybooks.bsky.social 💙🖤💙🖤 Nothing is quite as it seems in Victorian high society, in the twisty and original new novel from the author of THE HOUSEKEEPERS 🖤💙🖤💙 www.foxlanebooks.co.uk/product-page...

Oh how I loved this!! Sharp, searching, PERFECTLY constructed - filled with wit, wrong turns, pitch perfect characterisation, pulling on the darker threads of 1797 too. @jessicabull.bsky.social writes with such skill and empathy and verve - Austen would love this series, and so do I!🙌📚
