Had a wonderful evening on Thursday 28 September at
The Old Operating Theatre and Herb Garrett, talking about my book.
Drinking Mildred's Medicine cocktails (a skeleton there has that name), we made pomanders from herbs and spices.
So pleased that my novel is now an audiobook!

'This is a book you’re dying to get back to. Holmes creates a quiet air of tension as she deftly describes the carelessness of youth and its consequences in her endearingly flawed characters. I loved it.'

A.N.Wilson, Spectator 2016
