Praise for No One Would Do What The Lamberts Have Done:

An incident involving a dog in a small village escalates to an all-out conflict, turning neighbour against neighbour, and culminating in murder. But who did it? Who was it done to? You’ll have to read to the final line to find out! Hugely entertaining and infectiously funny, this joyous adventure is one of Sophie Hannah’s very best books. A delight from start to finish.

IT. IS. BRILLIANT… funny, clever and audacious. I bloody loved it!”

Jennie Godfrey, no. 1 bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things

Praise for The Last Death of the Year:

Superbly orchestrated…as exhilaratingly complicated as anything by Christie. Poirot’s theatricality, his OCD traits, his combination of tenderness and cruelty – all are captured to perfection.

Sunday Times

Hannah gets it right in every particular. Her extraordinary feat is to make the reader forget very quickly that the novel is not, in fact, written by Dame Agatha herself.”

Fiona Leitch

Fiona Leitch is an author, tea drinker, and Jammie Dodger enthusiast. She writes the Jodie 'Nosey' Parker series for HarperCollins, because she loves thinking about Cornwall, food, and murdering people (not necessarily in that order). Her biggest claims to fame are being thrown out of a TV studio debate by John Craven, having the shortest stand-up comedy career ever, and playing a French hen in a non-denominational school Christmas play, which she is definitely not still bitter about. She is a sucker for a happy ending (though not for the victim, obviously), a romantic subplot, and a cheesy pun. Her novels are currently in development with BBC Studios and Union Picture.
