This week I’m binge-reading, probably for the last time until my Book 4/Draft 1 deadline. Flynn Berry won an Edgar for her first novel, UNDER THE HARROW, which I thought was one of the best crime novels I’d read in years. I finally got to her second, A DOUBLE LIFE, today - and finished it too. When I looked up half an hour ago, the room was nearly dark and I realized I’d been angling the pages towards the window so I could read the final chapters by the last of the light. It’s loosely inspired by the case of Lord Lucan and I think it’s fantastic. Berry’s prose is economical but incredibly potent: she can utterly devastate with a single, simple sentence and she often does. She’s become one of my favourite crime writers. Read her if you haven’t already. I impatiently await more. #book #bookstagram #bookreview #flynnberry #adoublelife #books #reading #reader #amreading #crimefiction #mystery #edgaraward #edgarawardwinner @vikingbooks

A week from tomorrow I head back to New York for an exciting programme of #RewindBook events: signings/ARC giveaways at Book Expo/Con, and a panel at the Library Journal Day of Dialog where I’ll be talking thrillers alongside Kalisha Buckhanon, Chris Pavone, Helen Philips, Riley Sager and Karin Slaughter (she says casually, trying to act like this is NBD... Cue me seriously fangirling). To celebrate, I’m giving away a signed UK proof and a bag of Cork Coffee Roaster’s coffee - which features in the book - over on Twitter. Look for the same username there and just RT my pinned tweet to enter! #rewindbook #book #bookstagram #win #reading #amreading #newbook #comingsoon #ARC #proofcopy #thriller #crimefiction #coffee #cork #corkcoffeeroasters #giveaway #giveaways #writer #writersofinstagram #writersoninstagram #authorsofinstagram
