@KeithHavers @SheffieldOutlaw @bracecricket @TrentBridge Many congratulations on the championship win. Notts have been the best team consistently throughout the season, so fair play to them.

‘A Decent Killer’ and ‘Lament for Two Ladies’, two fabulous murder mysteries by Jeanne Hart, whose writing style is similar to Sue Grafton’s.

A very happy republication day to The Ten Teacups by Carter Dickson (aka John Dickson Carr). Seen by many as one of the great locked room mysteries! With a new @medwardsbooks intro. Available from @BL_Shop (on 3 for 2) & all good bookshops. The things I do for this job… (pic 3)
