Top #BookPost alert! 🎉 #AQueerCase by @Robert_Holtom looks stylish and sounds brilliant! London 1929. Selby Bigge is a bank clerk by day, a mover in the queer underworld by night, and is soon caught up in a tricky murder case 🕵️‍♂️ That cover slays! 🤩 Thanks @TitanBooks 🙏 Out Jun

Well, hello big buoy.

Later on in the Piccadilly Noir series, I'm toying with Harley visiting a 1930s fair/carnival. I'm revisiting William Lindsay Gresham's classic "Nightmare Alley", and this edition of the fabulous @noirfoundation magazine as part of the research.

Happy publication day @stuartamdouglas! Death at the Dress Rehearsal – 'the best cosy crime novel since The Appeal' – hits bookshops today. I can't wait for everyone to meet Edward Lowe and John Le Breton, 1970s BBC sitcom actors and amateur sleuths.
