A murder in Cambridge. 1977.
A rare orchid beside the body.
And a university full of secrets.
The Orchid Mystery by Nancy L. Mangan.

Bought this splendid book🌳🌳 from the lovely new Brown Onion Books in Ashbourne. Whether local or visiting, do go in, browse & buy! Indie shops are the backbone of thriving market towns, so spend here in person and not online whenever you can. They’ll take your book orders too 📚

Not very often, or ever before, I get quoted in the Times. A shame it’s about the crazy increases in business rates so many indie bookshops are facing this year. #businessrates #indiebookshops @libdemcam.bsky.social

The Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder face out on a shelf of SFF books. It looks splendid. The two spine out books to its right are Our Child of the Stars and Our Child of Two Worlds, also by me. These two spines are mostly just title and name. All three books are moody blue -two with yellow text and one with dark pink and white text. The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder by Stephen Cox A striking book cover with the title and author name dominating. A rich dark blue background, and a touch of mist. The text appears in gold in a gold rectangular frame, the font is old fashioned implying C19th century. The frame has three rondels or cameos each containing a picture. Top right is a golden bee brooch with the body and one wing streaked with red blood. Middle left is foxgloves, spires of small bell flowers in pink, white and purple. Bottom right is a dark brown medicine bottle, with a pale label. The word LAUDANUM is just visible. There are pink highlights on some of the letters. Taken together it is bold, mysterious, and Victorian.
First sighting of The Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder in the @portalbookshop.bsky.social Portal Bookshop York. Queer and nerdy, they are lovely and well worth a visit.
