HI Nilam, how are you?
Where can I DM you? I guess you're not using Twitter much now?

Smiling is when you get to interact with one of your favourite authors, and agreeing that both were meant as jokes.

I agree. I wasn't agreeing with the article, btw, just pointing it out in case you hadn't seen it.

Absolutely... most of it really, but especially the "expression of concern" and the timing of events.
Purchase of shawl in 2007, DNA results published 12 years later and the editors note 5 years after that...!

... back of New Scientist this week on the Whitechaper murders and Catherine Eddie's alleged shawl.
Just a brief piece, but thought it may be of interest to you.
Take care, and again, thanks

@sophiemhistory.bsky.social hi Sophie, hope you're well.
Thanks for the Friday Murder Club newsletter earlier, will read later (shame I can't subscribe, but happy to read what I can).
Anyway, just wanted to make you aware (in case it's of interest) that there's a short piece in the back of... ctd

I keep meaning to read that, will add it to the list.
Have you read Alex Michaelides' The Fury? Another play on the locked room/island genre.

99p is an absolute steal for this!
It's a brilliant book that you just won't want to end.

It has everything you could ever want in a book; #Penguins, romance, science, sweeping landscapes, more penguins, mystery, heartbreak, boobies, cheating, exercise and even more penguins 🐧

Some suggestions for translations for your first book, perhaps?
I'd happily learn Serbian and re-read the book if you used this πŸ˜‚ πŸͺ

A panda walks into a restaurant and orders a meal. He enjoys his meal, suddenly stands up, fires a gun in the air, and walks out.
The owner chases after him and asks him what he's playing at.
I'm a panda, he says, that's what we do, look us up in the dictionary.

A view across one of the lakes in London with trees in background partially obscuring views of Horse Guard's Parade.
It's a cold autumnal afternoon and hopefully the trees reflect that.
