It's an exciting time as I look forward to my puzzle mystery Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife coming out in hardback on 11 September in the UK and appearing a few weeks later in the US. I very much enjoyed my experience recording some of the audiobook and here are one or two photos taken in the studio by the lovely Head of Zeus publicity team.
I'm also excited about the UK launch at Serenity Books in Romiley. If you happen to be in the vicinity of north Cheshire, south Manchester, on the evening of 11 September, do come along.

Nowadays it's becoming commoner for reviews to appear before actual publication. Goodreads, for instance, features early reviews, but in the case of this book, the reviews that have appeared so far have been of an early, advance version of the book (or, in most cases, just a part of it). So it was with some holding of breath that I awaited the first magazine review of the final version...
And a US publication, First Clue, which I gather is run by librarians, has come up with that first review, and I'm very pleased with it: 'In a clever standalone homage to Agatha Christie and other Golden Age authors, Edwards (Rachel Savernake series) invites “external observers” (i.e., readers) and “analysts” (reviewers) to participate in an interactive puzzle mystery-within-a-mystery set in a remote, snowbound Yorkshire village. The mysterious Midwinter Trust has brought six down-on-their-luck people with connections to crime fiction (including washed-out author Harry Crystal and laid-off book publicist Poppy de Lisle) to Midwinter village in the rugged Pennines to solve a fictional murder over the Christmas holidays under the close supervision of six Midwinter Trust employees. But the game soon goes awry...a fun, diverting read.'
