I just put down The Devil and the Dark Water and... wow. Wow. I just have one question: How long did it take to draw up and refine all the events in the story and the story itself?? Amazing read! Thank you for that! (And not to sound overeager, but when's your next book coming out? :D)

Stuart Turton It took about three months of planning, with some tweaking as I wrote it. The writing took a year and a half. Next book should be out next year, but who knows, I'm sloooooow.

Karen asked Stuart Turton:

Love, love, love your bio! It inspires me to start writing again and to read all of the books! Thank you!!! Also, why only seven deaths in the UK edition but seven and one half in the US edition?

Nikki Chen
Nikki Chen asked Stuart Turton:

Hello, so I read the blurb of the book and I feel intrigued to read it. But I'm a freshman in highschool, so is this book appropriate for somebody my age?

L
L asked Stuart Turton:

Although I am aware that you wish to challenge yourself with different plots and ideas within novels, I have a rather optimistic question: is there any possibility of writing more loop-murder-mystery? Perhaps the Plague Doctor is a reoccurring character that visits every 'detective' as he/she shift through the hosts? Now, climaxing into the most preposterous wish of all, is there ANY possibility of a series?
