Very happy to have taken part in this year's @historia-hwa.bsky.social Christmas Book feature with a couple of recommendations for Christmas reading. I've chosen two scorchers by @alishawkinsauthor.bsky.social and @gjwilliams92.bsky.social which I think you'll love.

The Hanging Man Investigation is out now. Atkins and Palmer book 2, available in paperback and ebook.

And if you've read the Locked Trilogy, or Unlocked, you might even see a familiar face or two.
