Very special and emotional #bookpost today. The wonderful Denzil Meyrick’s final DCI Daley novel #LastOrders (published by @transworldbooks.bsky.social 22nd May). Huge thanks to @finncotton.bsky.social (and much love). If anyone needs me, I’ll be with Daley & Scott, enjoying Denzil’s fabulous words.
