I'm excited to announce that my debut novel was reviewed in the New York Times as one of January's best mystery novels. Big thanks to Sarah Weinman and everyone at @nytimes for this!

Re-watching the Japanese psychological thriller Cure (キュア, 1997) early this morning. I haven't seen it for years. It's had a real resurgence lately. I'm finding it hard to find more films with this atmosphere and feel.

I had so much fun spending an hour on stage with @pollypullar1 at the @WigtownBookFest earlier this month, chatting to a packed crowd. She's a wonderful interviewer and lovely person, and the festival was amazing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #newfoundland #scotland

I'm halfway home to Newfoundland after a wonderful book tour in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 that included @WigtownBookFest and @BloodyScotland where I had this lovely portrait done by Paul Reich. I can't say enough good things about both festivals. I can't wait to go back!

So many great people, cool events and conversations this weekend! It was an honour and a privilege to be a panelist. 💀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @BloodyScotland
