A great 1930s pick! 🥰🥰🥰
Thrilled to hear you enjoyed reading these books as much as I enjoyed writing them! 🥰
If you are a fan of the Golden Age of Detection and a fan of going to the theatre, @jamiewestauthor.co.uk's first two books in the Bertie Carroll Mysteries are definitely for you. This is an author who has great things ahead of him if he keeps up writing like this. open.substack.com/pub/whodunni...
I’ll be at Newcastle Noir this year! 5-6th December.

I’m going to be at the brand new Cheshire Crime Writer’s Festival next year.
Organised by the wonderful Curious Cat Bookshop in Frodsham, it’s two days that brings together a brilliant bunch of crime writers who’ll be giving insight into their books.
Congratulations!
Huge congratulations! ❤️❤️

Theatre history: The Era, the newspaper in which the advert is placed, was a popular trade newspaper in the 1930s to the theatre and entertainment industry. The Stage also was around at the time and still exists today but seeing I bring back lost theatres in my books, why not a lost newspaper too?
🔎 Murder at the Matinee starts when a mysterious newspaper advertisement appears.
A few weeks ago I got the news that Murder at the Matinee was shortlisted for the inaugural Whodunnit Dagger at this year’s @thecwa.bsky.social awards. In a week or two from now, we’ll know who the winner is!

Thank you! 🤩
🗡️ Shortlisted!
Murder at the Matinee has been shortlisted for a CWA Whodunnit Dagger Award.
I’m absolutely blown away this. Congratulations to all the other authors that have made the list too, I hope I’ll be able to see you all at the awards later in the year!
Absolutely loved A QUEER CASE from Robert Holtom which is coming out 3rd June ❤️
In the novel, the queer world of 1920s London is wonderfully evoked and the murder mystery contained is twisty and brilliant!
Getting reacquainted with Murder at the Matinee for my Noir at the Bar reading at Bodies in the Bookshop where the in-person launch of National Crime Read Month will be held this Saturday!
Some very light editing makes Chapter 1 a nice tight five minutes! ⏱️
I read this one first! I need to go back and read the earlier one…
