Detectives, I’m thrilled to say that the wait is finally over. You’ve made your guesses (and a lot of them were right – well done if you worked it out) and I can now exclusively reveal that Book 8’s cover is going to be…

New year, new books!
It’s officially 2019 – and I’m so excited for all of the things that are happening this year!

(In Australia and New Zealand, the date is usually a few weeks later, and for South Africa it’s usually about a month and a half later.)
I can’t tell you the title of Book 8 yet, even though I know what it is (and I think you’re going to love it!) but I CAN tell you that the cover COLOUR will be revealed on this website, as well as on all of my social media channels, at 12pm GMT on Friday the 25th of January.… Read more

It’s been an amazing year for me – I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved, and so grateful for all of your support. I’m reflecting on the past year in my video for this month, as well as choosing my very favourite read of 2018.
I’m taking time off from now until the end of the year to work on Daisy and Hazel’s eighth murder mystery – and spend time with my lovely family and friends – so this is my last website post for 2018.… Read more

Death in the Spotlight reviewed by TES
I’m delighted that Death in the Spotlight has been reviewed by TES in their Class Book Review section.
Natalia Marshall, LRC Manager at The Compton School, calls it ‘the best MMU novel yet’.
Gia, a Year 8 pupil at Compton School, says ‘I love this book because the two main characters, Hazel and Daisy, are brave and funny and they take you along on their adventures – you never know what is going to happen next,’ and Emma, Year 8, says ‘I like Death in the Spotlight because it has a lot of plot twists which keep you wanting to read more, which is what I look for in a book.’
Caitlin, Year 8, mentions my YouTube channel!… Read more
