I’m thrilled to let you know that Lena Szarka, my Hungarian cleaning detective, has been shortlisted for the Nosy Parker Award for Best Amateur Detective in the Dead Good Reader Awards 2019! I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who nominated her.

But it’s not over – the awards are decided entirely by a public vote. If you’d like to see Lena win, please vote here for her second outing, A Clean Canvas. Voting closes on Wednesday 17th July.

Thank you for your support – I appreciate it so much.
