Weekly Highlights (Feb 19th – 25th)
As always, there’s been lots to celebrate this week at TBP! We also have some very exciting things happening behind the scenes that we can’t talk about quite yet, but watch this space…
Books Published
The 22nd of February saw the paperback publication of A GIFT OF POISON by Bella Ellis (AKA Rowan Coleman), the latest book in the Brontë Sisters Mystery series.
Haworth 1847 – Anne and Emily Brontë have had their books accepted for publication, while Charlotte’s has been rejected everywhere, creating a strained atmosphere at the parsonage.
At the same time, a shocking court case has recently concluded, acquitting a workhouse master of murdering his wife by poison. Everyone thinks this famously odious and abusive man is guilty. However, he insists he is many bad things but not a murderer. When an attempt is made on his life, he believes it to be the same person who killed his wife and applies to the detecting sisters for their help.

Cover Reveals
Also on the 22nd of February, the cover of the first book in Kieran Larwood’s much anticipated DUNGEON RUNNERS series was revealed, and isn’t it incredible?!
Kit has dreamed of being a Dungeon Runner all his life, although being a gnorf (part gnome, part dwarf) means he’s much smaller than the other competitors. But when a space opens up for a new team in the Dungeon Running League, Kit doesn’t want to miss this chance to try out! With his new friends Sandy and Thorn, they’re ready to take on anything – mazes, puzzles, monsters, treasure and most of all adventure!
DUNGEON RUNNERS: HERO TRIAL is available to pre-order here.
Celebrations
This week, we spotted a very exciting debut featured in The Bookseller – Margaret McDonald’s GLASGOW BOYS! The YA novel has been flagged as ‘one to watch’ and we wholeheartedly agree. Pre-order GLASGOW BOYS here.
