@rhipratchett I think the current world would enrage him into a fiery Vimes outing... Much love and strength to you 💕

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

@grabthisbook @dakegra Reading the descriptions there's nothing about the qualities of the stories and a lot about the marketing campaigns... Also, the Sally Smith was first published in 2024 - I read and enjoyed her 2025 2nd book in the series so am confused as to why that isn't the title included.

@dakegra There's more to the selection criteria than just "the best" to read. But that said...I've not read any of those - and I'm not planning to change that

Finally we can tell! Satu Rämö and I are writing a book together! Yay! Wild Card will be published in Finnish and Icelandic in 2027 and we hope it will also find its way to other languages. It is an immense joy to work on a book with a dear friend. ❤️ @wsoykirjat @Islannin_Satu

You can see Doug talking about Tombstoning tonight in person or via livestream thanks to @PortyBooks (theportobellobookshop.com/events/doug-jo…) And while you're awaiting your preordered copy, you can read my review 😁 #Books #CrimeFiction #Scotland
thecrimebookgirl@crimebookgrrl

New review! #Tombstoning by @doug_johnstone (pub'd @OrendaBooks thx @RandomTTours) is 20 but feels totally fresh: "all the elements of a Doug Johnstone novel are present and correct, and you should not hesitate to dive in" crimebookgirl.com/2026/02/20/rev… #books #CrimeFiction #TartanNoir

And then, somehow, there were ten. Exit Wounds is out today in paperback. Hope you all enjoy Connor’s return to Belfast, and the trouble he creates…
