@NottingHillBook
and
@WaterstonesKR
and ended in Wimbledon, where the book is set....
Yesterday was a special, magical day as I met my new editor
@EmGriffs
for lunch with
@Taffyagent
. I was early so had a chance to explore a local Waterstones and buy my next Patricia Highsmith....
Described by Sabine Durrant as 'utterly compulsive' and Chris Whitaker as 'shocking, seductive, sexy and scandalous - a pageturning thriller' - the Switch ebook is just 99p fpr a limited time!
I loved Saltburn - the best film I've seen so far this year. I liked the way it evolved from social satire to twisted, outrageous thriller. Maybe it spoke to me as I was once a working class student at Oxford....
Yesterday I signed 50 copies of The Switch for
@GoldsboroBooks
. And afterwards enjoyed wandering through Cecil Court, aka Booksellers Row, a magical place...
The 3 winners of my competition to win a signed hardback copy of The Switch are

@BiancaC2023

A nice surprise on a Sunday! - The Switch has been reviewed in The Critic as 'a triumph. The plot has as many twists as you might expect when you start with two women plotting to trick their partners in a sex game'
Thank you to all who entered the competition to win a signed proof copy of The Switch - got tons more entries than expected, which was great. Congrats to
@clairehrocks
for winning! I'll run another comp soon....

@PamelaDormanBks
I really enjoyed doing this podcast for the Storytime in Paris podcast with
@jennyphoria
. We chatted about thrillers, sex scenes, Dahl, plotting five act structures, and how I met my partner by drawing his portrait...
I love The Talented Mr Ripley, so I'm excited to discover there's a forthcoming TV series with a dream cast - Andrew Scott as Ripley, Dakota Fanning as Margo, Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf
Excited to see The Switch featured in the Sunday Times Style magazine as a hot read for 2024 - 'it's the year of suburban noir... The suburbs have never known such excitement'!

@EmGriffs
I don't read much true crime but am utterly gripped by The Red Parts. A beautiful and painful read exploring how Maggie Nelson's aunt, Jane Mixer, was murdered and 35 years on the case reopened and her killer found...
Six days until The Switch comes out in America with
@PamelaDormanBks
! If you are based in the US, my publishers are currently giving away 100 free ebooks of the Switch...
I think the best crime TV series at the moment is Criminal Record. So gripping - and Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo are electrifying as enemy police officers ....
