So excited to see copies making their way to readers!

[The Puzzle Doctor 💙 @puzzledoctor]

Missed the boat on a review copy for this one, but sometimes you just need to buy a copy of a new book anyway - even if it’s about 3 months too early #BookTwitter #MerryChristmas @andreinacordani #Reviewverysoon #outnow

[Andreina 🎅🎄❄️🔪💀 Cordani @AndreinaCordani]

@puzzledoctor Oh thank you so much! I'm a bit nervous now - hope you like it!

PS: there weren't print ARCs this year otherwise you'd have been top of the list.

@jessicacadams Me too - although I think you'll like my fellow nominee the Tarot Reader of Versailles - it sounds brilliant.

[Andreina 🎅🎄❄️🔪💀 Cordani @AndreinaCordani]

As a lifelong hist-fic obsessive I am beyond excited to be on this longlist for A Scrooge Mystery! 13-year-old me just keeled over from the thrill of it. Thank you!

@FenceIsElectric YES!! Writing it now!

I didn’t read any of those: but I did read December book selection for the #onlinebookgroupwales ‘Murder at the Christmas Emporium’ by @AndreinaCordani which I really enjoyed. I’m part way through another read on @BorrowBox ‘The Pupil’ by Caro Fraser, but it’s a tad too slow 4me

[Andreina 🎅🎄❄️🔪💀 Cordani @AndreinaCordani]

@LucyVAndrew @WolvesLitFest @GraniteNoirFest @theanonymums @novelcharacters @nicolaupsonbook I wouldn't necessarily choose the fridge, but I can definitely relate.

[Andreina 🎅🎄❄️🔪💀 Cordani @AndreinaCordani]

@LibLadyDarllen @BorrowBox Gosh I'm so happy you enjoyed!
