Thanks so much Susan. Great to hear and thanks for posting. You made my day

Fabulous event and a proper Bookery welcome. Thank you!

Who knew a dark, wet January evening could feel quite so tropical? Last Thursday we welcomed bestselling crime writer Tom Hindle & our charming interrogator in chief, @orlandomurrin.bsky.social, for a wonderfully entertaining event celebrating Tom’s newest murder mystery, A Killer in Paradise.🧵 ⬇️

‘Have you ever wondered why we ‘play’ musical instruments? If you’re like me, it doesn’t feel at all like playing; ‘practising’, ‘learning’ or ‘studying’ are the usual descriptions.’ Guest post by @orlandomurrin.bsky.social crosseyedpianist.com/2026/01/12/w... #piano #playpiano #practising

...but with secrets and grudges aplenty, how many will make it out alive? Tom will be joined in conversation by @orlandomurrin.bsky.social, friend of The Bookery and fellow crime writer. It promises to be a thrilling evening! 🎫 Tickets £6 in store or online from thebookery.org.uk/event/tom-hi...

As the end of the UK tax year looms, any other Blooskies fed up that the tax allowance for car travel is still 45p per mile, unchanged since 2011? (Not my Audi - I drive a VW)

This was great fun but I also learnt heaps from you both.

Thanks so much - and for your insights. Great to share a review with the incomparable @sukpannu.bsky.social

I really enjoyed this - a rollicking good read

Lovely book and Miss Austen sparkles like a diamond

Day in the studio recording the audiobook of #MurderBelowDeck, read by Sebastian Humphreys. Seb did the audiobook version of #KnifeSkillsForBeginners which is HILARIOUS (ideal for your commute, or while you're cooking dinner): www.audible.co.uk/author/Orlan... open.spotify.com/show/2xMNtws...

After Philby's defection, he declared 'the only man I feared was Skardon'. William 'Jim' Skardon was my maternal grandfather, MI5's crack interrogator, previously a Met detective. His bedtime stories when I was a kid inspired my lifelong fascination with crime. #philby #MI5 #packoflies

Fabulous. Sending love to US readers
