Loved reading this response from the stupendous @SimonBewick ๐. (I think itโs my best yet, too, but it only really counts when readers think so).
Just finished this from @sarah_hilary - coming April 2026 from @harvillbooks. Absolutely loved it: A new crime solving duo (or is it a trioโฆ ;) ) different from anything Iโve read recently. I think itโs Sarahโs best yet, which is saying somethingโฆ

Enjoyed every second of this. A fascinating discussion with four brilliant writers. Thanks to @HarrogateFest for the opportunity. Please all read these terrific books ๐ ๐.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN @TheakstonsCrime . Fascinating discussion deftly chaired by the superlative @sarah_hilary . A very Gothic concept; those who are lost, representing that which is repressed, a potent duality - with us but absent. Snaebjวrn Arngrimsson, @TariqAshkanani,
