Coming up this Sunday! There will be prizes! I hope you join us if you can’t make it to my Bellevue, WA booksigning happening at roughly the same time. https://www.facebook.com/groups/cozymysteryparty

Join me at the new Barnes & Noble in Bellevue, WA for a book signing, featuring my new book, A Twist of Murder! I can’t wait to say hello in person.

The information is here.

If you’ve been reading my new book, A Twist of Murder, you know that most of it is set at Aga Academy (in Harrow on the Hill) in 1836. This is a boy’s school, and I had fun doing an acrylic painting of what the back garden looks like.

I wonder if it looks like a cold or warm day to you?

blurb:

In Victorian England, aspiring author Charles Dickens is on the case again—in pursuit of missing orphans, legendary treasure, and a cold-blooded killer in the latest installment of Heather Redmond’s charming series that reimagines the famous writer as an amateur sleuth.

Harrow-on-the-Hill, March 1836: In a sense, orphans Ollie, John, and Arthur have always been treasure hunters. The mudlarks have gone from a hardscrabble life scavenging the banks of the Thames for bits and bobs to becoming students at a boarding school outside of London, thanks to the kind and generous intercession of Charles Dickens. But now they’re missing—as is, apparently, a treasure map.

When Charles arrives at the school, he’s hit with another twist—the servant girl who was allegedly in possession of the map has been strangled in the icehouse. Unbeknownst to them on their spirited adventure, his young friends may be in mortal danger. Now Charles and his fiancée Kate Hogarth, who has come to join him in the search for the runaways, must artfully dodge false leads and red herrings to find the boys and the map—before X marks the spot of their graves . . .

If you’ve started reading A Twist of Murder, my new release, you’ll know that there is a body found in the ice house on the Aga Academy property. I did some research on what the ice house on a once grand English estate might look like. As an amateur painter, I had fun doing a watercolor of what Charles Dickens finds.
