Liar's Candle UK book trailer!

Tomorrow (May 17) Simon & Schuster publishes Liar's Candle in the UK! I'm especially delighted, because I began writing the book when I lived in Edinburgh.

In hono(u)r of the occasion, here's the fabulous book trailer S&S UK made for Liar's Candle. Got to love the ominously swirling smoke...

Travels with Agatha Christie

I blogged for CrimeReads about Agatha Christie's surprising travel writing about the Middle East! No murders...but hefty dose of humor.

The UK release of Liar's Candle is coming up on May 17! Simon & Schuster UK have made a GORGEOUS book trailer for it, which I can't wait to share.

Here in the US, I was thrilled that the New York Post called Liar's Candle a "must-read". Up in Canada, it's a Walmart "Read of the Month" for May!



Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak at Wellesley's absolutely delightful Authors on Stage program, alongside Daniel Stone and Alan Lightman, who both have fascinating new books out this spring:

The Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats

and

Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine
