Thank you, @marlowbookshop.bsky.social, for such a wonderful event - and I'm delighted to see that I seem to have an orange face to go with the orange book. (Gosh, just realised that orange is quite a triggering colour at the moment... sorry, everyone).

Robert Thorogood@robthor.bsky.social · 8mo agoWell this is very exciting - the arrival this morning of the FIFTH Marlow Murder Club book, The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts. Immediately absorbed onto the bookshelf with her sisters and looking mighty fine.
Jeff Bezos has decided he has enough money and is now offering Murder on the Marlow Belle for half price! I don't know for how long his largesse will last, but buy it as the PERFECT Christmas present before he decides to up the price again to build more rockets. www.amazon.co.uk/Murder-Marlo...

It's always exciting to receive uncorrected proofs in the post, and I can't wait to dive into these two books that arrived within 24 hours of each other (what are the chances!), but... um... it also feels a bit like pigeons coming home to roost.
Happy Advent to you and your kin! And everyone else's kin too, come to that. As every December so far this decade, I'm going to do an Advent Calendar of beautiful and brilliant carols, with each day's added to a YouTube playlist and also to the ongoing Spotify one, now in its sixth(!) year. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Since when did Microsoft Word become a distributed array / hive mind / swarm? Is this new or have I just never noticed before that it now thinks it's more than one entity?
Chuffed to bits to see that Murder on the Marlow Belle was won an audiobook award in the USA. Nicolette McKenzie is brilliant as the narrator of the series, and I am never surprised that the books win more awards for how they sound than for how they read. www.audiofilemagazine.com/reviews/read...

Can concur. And I keep hoping my Finnish publisher will invite me back to Helsinki so I can do it again….

Okay, so we have a cover for the next Marlow Murder Club book! What do you think? While you're watching the vid, I'll be popping over to the sideboard to get myself just a small glass of whisky... (Thank you, as ever, to @manpreeteditor.bsky.social & @teddyfromtheblock.bsky.social)
Another week on the USA Today Bestseller list! It's so very, very thrilling to know that so many Americans want to spend time with Judith (and therefore, by proxy, my Grandma Betty, Great Aunt Jess, and all of my other dotty female relatives who are in Judith's DNA). Go Team Marlow!
So excited - finally - to share some of the the AMAZING actors who signed up to S3 of The Marlow Murder Club. Each and every one of them was brilliant and I can't wait for the new series to land next year! uk.news.yahoo.com/jo-martins-d...
