Recommendation of the day👍🏽✅

Are you in the mood for a purrrr-fect mystery book? Well look no further. Join Hettie and Tilly on this detective adventure! 🐱🐱👀👀

📖As the Town’s annual flower and produce show approaches, it’s all doom and bloom up on the allotments. Prize vegetables are going missing and a dead body is found fertilizing Bonny Grub’s onion patch. Baronial landowner Fluff Wither-Fork is beside herself and calls in the No. 2 Feline Detective Agency.

Who is trying to sabotage the scarecrow competition? And will Hettie Bagshot and her sidekick Tilly get to the bottom of this murky compost heap before judgement day arrives? Amid a sea of binder twine and raised beds, a spiteful killer cat is on the prowl. Who will be next, as the allotment community shake in their wellington boots?

🥳Happy Publication Day🥳

When Combe Tollbridge opens its doors to visitors, its colourful residents realise all too late what trouble it can bring to their sedate village life...

Combe Tollbridge, on the Exmoor coast, is a quiet fishing village always happy to welcome visitors for the sake of the local economy, but when an irritating journalist looks like staying overtime, a dine-and-dash couple plays tricks in the neighbourhood, and a family with more than one secret to hide features in the national news, the mixed blessing that is tourism becomes all too clear.

Meanwhile Professor Tolliday visits the coastal village for the first time in fifty years with his family. The once irresponsible student has come back to make belated amends, but it is his mischievous little granddaughter whose holiday fun causes the most trouble for the village.

Have you listened to Gabby Hutchinson Crouch on Monocle yet? Well now is your chance !! 🩷🩷

🎙️For years, author and satirist Gabby Hutchinson Crouch has scoured the week’s news for material to use on the programmes in BBC Radio 4’s Friday-night topical slot, ‘Dead Ringers’ and ‘Newzoids’. She has also written for ‘Horrible Histories’, the Bafta-winning children’s series inspired by ‘Blackadder’ and ‘Monty Python’. She discusses her latest book, the first in a new ‘historical romantasy’ series, and is quizzed by a ‘Horrible Histories’ enthusiast.

📖Cursed Under London: In an alternative Elizabethan London, Fang awakes from his death to discover he is not quite human anymore. In fact, despite having somehow acquired the power of immortality, he’s also not quite vampire, zombie, werewolf or any of the other supernatural beings who roam the twin cities of Upper London and its underground counterpart, Deep London.

A jaded traveller from the Ming Empire, Fang is desperate to find a way to reverse the spell and get on with being dead when he stumbles upon Lazare de Quitte-Beuf, a theatrical Frenchman who is afflicted with the same mysterious condition. Thrown together by the curse they share, the two men set out to undo the strange magic that binds them. As they are drawn further into the shadowy world of Deep London, they unearth a dangerous plot which they appear to be right in the middle of…

Thank you Waterstones Trafalgar Square for a fabulous event👏👏

This week Gabby Huchinson Crouch was in conversation with three other brilliant Historical Romantasy writers❤️✍️

📖The Morgan le Fay series by Sophie Keetch: An atmospheric, feminist retelling of the early life of famed villainess Morgan le Fay, set against the colourful chivalric backdrop of Arthurian legend.

📖Gate to Kagoshima by Poppy Kuroki: 2005: While researching her Japanese ancestors, Isla travels from Scotland to Kagoshima. There, a vicious typhoon hurls her through a strange white gate and back to 1877, amid the dawn of the Satsuma Rebellion – the conflict that ended the samurai.

📖The Puzzle Wood by Rosie Andrews: In the outstanding new novel from the author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Leviathan, an isolated forest becomes the unsettling, beguiling backdrop to a tale of myths, memory and murder.

📖Cursed Under London by Gabby Huchinson Crouch: The hilarious first novel in a cosy and inclusive historical romantasy series by the writer of Horrible Histories
