I'm amazed and incredibly happy that OUR HOUSE has been longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2019, awarded at the Harrogate Festival in July! Not only is it an incredibly prestigious longlist (and a bit daunting: Val McDermid, Belinda Bauer, Mick Herron, Ann Cleeves and a dozen other dazzling talents to compete with!), but Theakston Old Peculier is also a favoured longterm tipple of my old man. Meant to be, my friends, meant to be...

I'm thrilled to report that the OUR HOUSE audiobook has been shortlisted for the 2019 Crimefest Audible Sounds of Crime Award! Outstanding work by Deni Francis as Fi and Paul Panting as Bram - and what great company we are in! You can see the full shortlist here.

I'm so pleased to cheer OUR HOUSE on its way in paperback form in the US and Canada! I hope it will find its way into the hands of many new readers - and perhaps make you clutch your house keys just that little bit tighter! Enjoy x
