A Happy Christmas and a big festive thank you to all who’ve read, enjoyed, reviewed and recommended my books this year ❤️ To all the book bloggers, booksellers and librarians ❤️ The festival organisers, teachers and numerous others who made 2025 so special ❤️ Thank you ❤️

I just read The Christmas Appeal by @janicehallett.bsky.social. I've not read the original, but that didn't affect my enjoyment at all. It's a great festive mystery told in a very interesting modern epistolary style. Definitely recommended at this time of year! #book #mystery #thechristmasappeal

Finally got the new @janicehallett.bsky.social book, The Killer Question. And as per usual with her books I'm like this

Recency bias, as I finished this last week, but The Killer Question by Janice Hallett is great. A local pub quiz gone very wrong, the structure controls how the story unfolds without being heavy handed, and is extra enjoyable. & of course it has the signature modern epistolary style. Smashing stuff

Read @janicehallett.bsky.social's piece for the Guardian on her longstanding love of pub quizzes and the recent cheating scandal at a Manchester pub. Her latest bestseller, #TheKillerQuestion, features battling pub quiz teams and a grisly murder – out now 🍻✏️🩸 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
