It’s 1924. Poppy Denby, Fleet Street journalist, is hoping for a few weeks off, visiting her family in Newcastle upon Tyne. She’s reluctantly roped into filling in for the publicist of a renowned artist who, inconveniently, is then murdered on Poppy’s watch – at the Laing Art Gallery. ‘Murder at the Art Gallery’, #5 in the Poppy Denby Investigates series, is out now! https://loom.ly/gdhqLcY

(This was formerly published as The Art Fiasco by Lion Fiction. The audiobook by WF Howes is still under that name.)

Since the first Poppy Denby book, The Jazz Files, was re-released under the new title A Front-Page Murder, I have been delighted by the reception the books have received from fans old and new.
My wish was to give these wonderful stories new life and for them to reach a new audience. Here’s a sample:

“Now this is what I call a page turner! This is one of the best books I’ve read for a long time. Loved Poppy Denby.”
