A VERY happy publication day to Sally Smith and a VERY large hurrah for @t_kettle; A Case of Mice and Murder is her first book publishing at @BloomsburyRaven and oh my, has she started with a corker: 'A delight from first page to the last' Sunday Times

2. The Literary Review said: 'Cosy crime fiction has rarely been as classy.....This irresistible novel is written with wit and elegance, as well as deep knowledge of the law and its practice since the Middle Ages.'

[Anne-Marie Doulton @agentAmpersand]

These early reviews have made my week.
1. The Sunday Times said: "It is rare that an original protagonist appears in historical crime fiction but Sally Smith has created one in Gabriel Ward... A Case of Mice and Murder is a delight from first page to last."

Congrats to @L_Vardiashvili, 1 of The Observer’s 10 Best Debut Novelists 2024. 2 yrs ago I just lost out in my bid to represent him, after reading HARD BY A GREAT FOREST, published this mth by @BloomsburyBooks. An exceptional novel: highly recommended.

The Guardian in Dec round-up of best books of 2022:
"Three hard-hitting debut novels shone out. An Olive Grove in Ends by Moses McKenzie ... delves deep into faith, violence, addiction, ambition and love with power and grace."
And so say all of us. Congrats again @eastsidemoses

[Anne-Marie Doulton @agentAmpersand]

Moses McKenzie's debut novel 'An Olive Grove in Ends' hailed in The Independent as '...full of wisdom, and McKenzie’s prose is simply beautiful.'
And then some.
