I have my friend Debbie to thank for the idea for the opening scene in Crime Quiz. She’d just returned from a cruise off the coast of Western Australia where the passengers were woken at 5.00am in the morning by an announcement that five people had died overnight.

At first, I didn’t believe her, who would do that? I then laughed, before thinking about all the gossip that must have spread faster than a pandemic, the following day. It got me thinking and then, when a week later I went on my first cruise, which happened to be hosting a literary festival, the idea took on a life of its own.

It will be released onto Amazon next month and is currently available for pre-order.
