Word on the street is that #TheEndingWritesItself by Evelyn Clarke is set to be the big book of 2026 👀

Can't quite believe I'm reading a book that's only out in April next year but I love a locked room mystery and the intrigue has got me hooked 🕵🏻‍♀️

THE ENDING WRITES ITSELF, by Evelyn Clarke: Clearly in the running for the best mystery novel of 2026 (it bows in April). A trove of tropes that mystery-lovers will love, right down to the dark and stormy night in its climax. Funny and scary. It will remind you of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE.

Bloody Scotland 2025 Blog Tour – Festival Preview I genuinely cannot get over the fact that Bloody Scotland starts in just three weeks. Three weeks! That has caught me out completely and I’m still thinking about what tickets I want to buy, s…

Another day. Another preview. Love this one: Bloody Scotland 2025 Blog Tour - Festival Preview jenmedsbookreviews.com/2025/08/22/b...

Congratulations to Newcastle Greens on a) their brilliant by-election victory, b) proving Labour and the LibDems wrong and c) this excellent video!

New feature! I'm tempting you with my recommendations for panels to see at @bloodyscotland.bsky.social (@fionabrownlee.bsky.social) - "I am a huge fan of Bloody Scotland because it offers something for everyone no matter what your preference in crime fiction" #BookSky

A day of two halves. Fabulous feel good event with @jennycolgan.bsky.social concluding with the incredibly moving comment from a teacher who had found herself unable to read but resumed thanks to Jenny’s books. Hurrah! @hodderfiction.bsky.social @edbookfest.bsky.social #MeetMeAtTheSeasideCottages

Eloquent & intelligent observations from @frediotto.bsky.social @edbookfest.bsky.social regarding #ClimateInjustice @greystonebooks.bsky.social - Use what agency you have. We can vote, ask our MPs to do better and have conversations with our barbers & the board of governors at schools. Great event.

Mad dash around the bookshops of Edinburgh & Glasgow with the v charming Dugald Bruce-Lockhart, signing copies of #SecondSkin published by @muswellpress.bsky.social. Next stop Linlithgow, Dollar & St Andrews

Without our continued burning of fossil fuels, the current heat in London & most of the UK would not have been a heatwave: www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan... Heatwaves are dangerous. Drink water, lots of it, stay cool, even if you feel invincible, you're probably not.

As I was saying. After the headline being all about @liammcilvanney.bsky.social The McIlvanney Prize @bloodyscotland.bsky.social BookBrunch focus is on @ianrankin1.bsky.social @damedenisemina.bsky.social @dougskelton.bsky.social Congratulations one and all

New review! The Death Of Shame by #AmbroseParry (thx to @canongate.co.uk @fionabrownlee.bsky.social) - "Sarah finds she is not willing to be controlled by men wielding shame, and I cheered at the spark that was lit in her" #books #CrimeFiction #Edinburgh #BookSky

"Holly golly," as Johnny Hawke would say! I think The Cracked Mirror is my finest work, so I am elated that it has been shortlisted for the #theakstonsawards, and honoured to see it in such esteemed company.

Strong showing from the Bothwell contingent in this year's #theakstonsawards. @radiomukhers.bsky.social representing the unfashionable north of the village, myself the beautiful south.

Ambrose Parry still on the road. A lovely drive over to see them at Toppings, St Andrews to congratulate them on pub date & @brookmyre.bsky.social on being shortlisted for another major crime fiction prize #Theakstons #TheCrackedMirror #TheDeathofShame
