Another informative panel at the Farnham Literary Festival. "How to get away with murder." Husband is worried about the reading material I returned with...

Had a fun afternoon last Saturday listening to @robthor.bsky.social and @ianmooreauthor.bsky.social as part of Farnham Literary Festival. They both gave great insights into how they create their fantastic cosy crimes.

Beyond the door, Jack shivered with nerves. Eyes, the same blue as Ella’s, locked onto her. Repentant. He’d chosen ice and diamonds over warmth and family for 20 years.
β€˜Your Nan, told me where to find you.’
Ella melted into her father's arms as joyful Hallelujahs filled the room. #5ActFestiveStory

Chapel bells chimed midnight. Ding dong vibrations shook the room, shattering Ella into a million tiny crystals.
Firelight rainbows scattered across the walls.
Lightning quick, Mum scooped Ella into her hands and threw her onto the burning embers.
Flames sparked. An angel appeared. #5ActFestiveStory

I love a bit of wordplay and just came across this: an anagram of "Pub's motto" is "Bottoms Up!" Brilliant.

Attempting to hide their snow trail, they entered the crowded Magpie, praying for sanctuary in the far corner.
A colossus of a manβ€”alabaster skin, ice-blue eyesβ€”turned toward them. Ella’s mum shrieked, reached out to grab her but Ella remained immobile. Bewitched. Turned to marble. #5ActFestiveStory

β€˜I never should have trusted him.’ Her mum tossed the postcard onto the fire.
β€˜What’s happened?’
β€˜Your Uncle Pete, that’s what. He had one job, but he's useless, a coward to boot. It's up to you now to find it, to keep the magic alive for your brother.'
'Me? In this weather?' #5ActFestiveStory

On the reverse, the Colosseum centred below a sapphire sky. The heat of their honeymoon flooded back; chianti, tiramisu and naked marble statues. Emma's frozen heart threatened to melt. But it was too late for sorry. Revenge was on the cards. And at last, a clue where to find him. #5ActFestiveStory
