I’m really excited to say that my new novel, Death in Dulwich, is coming out on 6th September, thanks to my lovely publishers Crooked Cat. Although it’s a whodunnit, Death in Dulwich is a bit of a romp and there isn’t too much blood and gore, so the more sensitive amongst you will be safe …
Saw the Giacometti exhibition at the Tate Modern last week. What an amazing space the Tate is, particularly if, like lucky me, you are invited to the swanky opening night and you get to walk through the Turbine Hall after hours. It truly seems like the biggest building in London when it’s empty, and there …
My daughters tell me I laugh much, much too much at my own jokes. Well, my excuse is that if I don’t, who’s going to? But this time I do think I’ve created something worth a mild snicker at least. You’ve probably been chuckling yourself over David Cameron’s shepherd’s hut tricked out in Farrow & …
I hope you don’t feel too neglected. We’ve been off in Malta for a week. TL was giving a speech, and I was along for the ride, but ended up doing tons of work by accident. In the last couple of days, we hurtled around doing the sightseeing thing and rather loved the place. Malta’s …
Sponsored post My lovely friends at Cadbury’s have had a difficult Easter, what with all the hooha about what to call their lovely hunt and how religious their eggs should be these days.

The dreaded UCAS machine has processed reams of information and is now spitting out potential places, which your children and mine will be trooping off to in September and October – if they get the right grades. It can be hard to make a …
I think it’s about time I updated you on our theft. As you know, an evil person took a lot of jewellery from us. Since I’m a writer of whodunnits, I feel I should probably string this out, introduce lots of suspects and throw a red herring or two into the pot, but as many …
Sponsored post As you know, we are slaves to Cadbury’s here – in fact, I’m pretty sure that the famous glass and a half of full cream milk was the way I got all my calcium as a child – so we were thrilled to test drive their latest offering, which arrived with a satisfying …
I had lots of ideas for posts this week but there’s only one thing on my mind now – my lovely London. Politicians are going to urge us to stay strong and carry on – and we have no …
I fell back in love with Sainsbury’s over Christmas – their stuff was great quality and just seemed that cut above the other supermarket offerings – and I’ve been stocking up there every week since then as a result. So I was thrilled to be asked if Child 2 and I would do a bit …
