Announcement – two more adventures for Daisy and Hazel!
I’ve got some exciting news, Murder Most Unladylike fans: Daisy and Hazel’s adventures won’t be over any time soon!
I’m currently working hard on their fifth mystery, to be published in October this year – but Hazel and Daisy won’t be hanging up their deerstalkers at the end of it. Instead, I can promise you that they will have at least TWO MORE investigations to solve.
If you live in the UK or Ireland, Murder Most Unladylike 6 and 7 will be coming your way in 2017/18. I’ve signed the contract with my UK publishers, Penguin Random House, and I’m absolutely delighted to be working with them again. They have done wonders with the series, and I know what a lucky author I am to have such a marvellous publishing team supporting me.
Of course, this is all a long way off – I have to finish book 5 first! But I’m so glad that I know what’s next, and really pleased that I don’t have to stop writing about my detectives any time soon.
And if you’re looking for more from the world of Murder Most Unladylike, may I remind you that Daisy & Hazel’s fourth full-length book, Jolly Foul Play, will be hitting UK stores on the 24th of this month? You can pre-order it now, and you definitely should. On Friday I got to see the very first finished copies of it, and it looks gorgeous. It’s brighter than the sun!

Best news ever! I'm a huge fan of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes, and it's been pretty rough finding detective books like 'em - until I discovered Daisy and Hazel's adventures! Now I'm a huge fan, and I hope they go on solving mysteries forever, though Hazel's father may object to the girls having seen too many dead bodies.
Thank you so much, Elaine! Those books are massive influences on me, so that means a lot. I hope I can keep on writing until the suspension of disbelief just becomes ridiculous!
Yay!!! Great news, can't wait to read the next installment!
