Officially #PhDone. Loved every minute of it and very grateful to everyone who helped along the way - particularly my supervisors Prof Andrew Pepper and Dr Dominique Jeannerod. Now available for any non-medical emergencies specifically involving the use of documentation in crime fiction…

β€œThis nail-biting thriller explores the fine line between justice and revenge and it’s a novel which will be remembered long after you finish it β€” it’s a triumph.” Very chuffed with this The Irish Examiner review of The One You Least Suspect.

Lovely review in the Irish Independent for The One You Least Suspect (out Thurs): "An utterly believable and breathlessly exciting examination of the distrust and suspicion that still permeates post-Good Friday Agreement life in the North from the pen of a true master of Ulster noir crime fiction.”

Coming to it a year late, but this novel from @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social is just wonderful. Beautifully written, thoughtful and challenging. A masterclass in writing.

Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road?

Don't fill up on bread
I say absent-mindedly
The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be
receding a bit, says
Did you really just
say that to me?

What he doesn't know
is that when we're walking
together, when we get
to the curb
I sometimes start to reach
for his hand

β€”Robert Hershon

Please spread the word to any aspiring crime-writers out there. The competition will be judged by award-winning authors. Might be a kickstart to someone's career.

I know I’m woefully late to the party, but have finally (binge) watched Detectorists the past week or two and it’s just wonderful: full of gentleness and decency. And so beautifully written.
