'Wickedly entertaining tale of political chicanery.' @JakeKerridge review of The Prime Minister's Affair in @Telegraph Big thank you to Jake.

Advance hardback copies of my political thriller have arrived. Always feels like something that might never happen: '... an abstraction, remaining a perpetual possibility. Only in a world of speculation.' Nope. It's shiny and solid. Publication 23/6 #politics #BookLover

On a visit to the Marine centre in Oban this @MarkDouglasHome novel caught my eye. I’m enjoying it so far. A crime-fighting oceanographer is a new one for me and thoroughly enjoyable - interesting facts too 😊

@MarkDouglasHome Thanks to a recommendation from @radioleary I have now devoured your first two books & am looking forward to the next two. I hope there are some more in the pipeline?! Thank you for providing such an escape during lockdown, Cal is a great leading character.

Enormous xylophone in the woods of Kyushu, Japan plays a Bach tune when a wooden ball rolls down each "key." An impressive piece of engineering.

Out in paperback today: Witchfinder, my take on the Spycatcher hunt for traitors inside the intelligence services in the 60s. In a climate of fear, no one is above suspicion, not even a Prime Minister.
The ultimate Cold War spy story. @AWilliamswriter's brilliant novel of espionage and betrayal, #Witchfinder, is out in paperback in just two day's time!
All spies are liars, but which ones are traitors?
Pre-order now > fal.cn/3akJ3
They’re all published - in order: The Sea Detective, The Woman Who Walked into the Sea, The Malice of Waves, The Driftwood Girls, which was released earlier this year.

I think @HodderBooks done a great job with the jacket of the paperback. Thanks to Nick Sayers and the design team. Eye catching. Hope you agree. Out September 17th. A September gold rush, it seems!

To mark our 85th anniversary, we're delighted to reveal our new logo! 🧜♀️📖
Inspired by our original mermaid motif from 1935, we've given it a fresh new design appearing on our hardback spines from October!
What do you think of our new look? #PenguinMichaelJoseph

Lisa from #Alloway Library is enjoying 'The Woman Who Walked Into The Sea' by @MarkDouglasHome #TartanNoir with a twist, quirky protagonist and the use of an esoteric subject to solve crimes and mysteries, in this case, oceanography #ReadingHour #WorldBookNight
