The cover of my new book The Grapples Of Wrath. It shows a 2D graphic, block colour scene of a beach, with Brighton pier on the left side. A blue and white striped deckchair sits on yellow sand, under an orange sky. A lucha wrestling mask hangs from the deckchair, and appears to be dripping blood...

HELLO! My name is Alice Bell. I used to write about games, and now I still do that but also write murder mysteries with ghosts and jokes. The latest is about solving a murder in a pro-wrestling gym and is out now!

The advanced paperback proof copy of A Very Vexing Murder by Lucy Andrew The back cover of the advanced proof paperback copy of A Very Vexing Murder by Lucy Andrew. It has a quote from Mr Knightley from Jane Austen’s book Emma: “She knows nothing herself, and looks upon Emma as knowing every thing… her ignorance is hourly flattery. How can Emma imagine she has anything to learn herself, while Harriet is presenting such a delightful inferiority?”
Beneath that it reads: But Harriet Smith - wallflower and amateur sleuth - has conned them all.

Looky looky I got booky! So excited to get an early look at an Austen-y mystery from my fabulous stablemate @lucyvandrew.bsky.social!
