New Novel KILLING WITH CONFETTI Just Published
OUT THIS WEEK:
THE NEW PETER DIAMOND MYSTERY
I promised to update my regular readers about new books and I’m delighted to announce that KILLING WITH CONFETTI is published on Tuesday, JULY 9th both in the UK, from Sphere, and in USA, from Soho Press.
In this latest case for Peter Diamond, the Bath head of CID gets involved in a wedding. As a New Year begins, Ben Brace proposes to his long-term girlfriend, Caroline. The problem is that Ben is the son of the Deputy Chief Constable and Caroline’s father is a notorious crime baron. The wedding is to take place in Bath Abbey and the reception in the Roman Baths, and Peter Diamond is appalled to be asked to go undercover and somehow cope with potential killers, gang rivals, warring parents and straying bridesmaids. The arrangements can’t be changed. Will he avert a tragedy and send the happy couple on their honeymoon? Unlikely.
KILLING WITH CONFETTI is now available from all good bookshops and online too. Visit my website for further details.
