AKA asked Robin Stevens:

hi, I absolutely adored the murder most unladylike series! but now I've re-read it a billion time, I was wondering whether you would write anther one, aimed at older readers though? p.s you made a mistake in your final book. you implied Amina is gay although Muslims cannot be gay de to religious beliefs.

Robin Stevens Thank you so much! I think I will write books for older readers some day, although I don't know whether they'll feature my MMU characters. Who knows, though!

I based Amina on the queer Muslims I know - what a religion, or part of a religion, says is right is often quite different from the way individual people who are part of that religion feel. Some of the queer Muslims I know practice, and some don't, so there's just a huge amount of variation - it's not a simple yes or no! Of course, you are welcome to feel that you wouldn't have included a character like her in a book you wrote, but I definitely do know that a lot of people like her exist!
