The Dark Heart of Crime Fiction: Quieter Than Killing
Thrilled to see this great review for Quieter Than Killing in the Irish Independent at the weekend. Especially pleased that Marnie Rome gets mentioned alongside Jane Casey's Maeve Kerrigan, one of my favourite fictional detectives.

Get in Character with Marnie Rome #5
On 26 February, the CLIC Sargent Get in Character auction opens online and you have the chance to be a named character in Marnie Rome book 5. You might end up as a killer, a cop, a prison inmate or even a pal of Noah's. Last year, Jacob Collins was the winning bidder and he appears in Quieter Than Killing, with a special mention in the Acknowledgements. The best bit? You'll be raising money for a really great cause.
CLIC Sargent works with children and young people whose lives are affected by cancer, providing emotional, financial and practical support to help them cope and get the most of out of life. Do join the auction, bid as high as you can, help a good cause and put yourself in my hands as I finish writing Marnie Rome book 5. And, if you don't fancy rubbing shoulders (alive or dead) with Marnie and Noah, there are lots of other authors lined up to take part. Thanks, everyone.

Killer Women at the Bath Festival
I'm very much looking forward to appearing at the Bath Festival on Sunday 21 May, alongside three of my fellow Killer Women to discuss crime fiction.
More than 65% of all crime fiction is read by women. Yet critics often claim that the genre, with its focus on female victims, is misogynistic. Sarah Hilary, Erin Kelly and Mel McGrath of the Killer Women crime writing collective talk to Guardian crime reviewer Laura Wilson about the female appetite for crime fiction.
