The Times Crime Book of the Month

I’m absolutely ecstatic to say SQUEAKY CLEAN has been selected as The Times Crime Book of the Month for March!

The Times’ crime fiction reviewer Mark Sanderson writes: “The scabrous comedy and compassion (for his protagonists, the underdog and a rescue puppy called Bruce) make the graphic scenes of torture almost palatable. Squeaky Clean is an amazingly accomplished debut.”

You can read the full review online here: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/new-crime-fiction-for-march-2023-donna-leon-returns-plus-a-scabrous-comedy-in-glasgow-jz9mhcqgf

Or pick up Saturday’s edition of The Times to see it in print.

In addition to this wonderful news, Mark has also chosen SQUEAKY CLEAN as his Star Pick for this week’s The Times and Sunday Times Crime Club newsletter.

The newsletter also features an article I wrote about the inspiration behind the book – the car wash where I used to work – and a competition to win a copy.

It’s mega!

Squeaky Clean is officially published tomorrow with a launch event at Mount Florida Books in Glasgow. You can still get a ticket here.
