My shiny new paperback copy of 'Keep Your Friends Close' by Cynthia Murphy, sitting on the ancient, stone steps of Sudeley Castle. I'm now the sort of person who takes books out of family days out, in case a good photo opportunity arises 🤦🏻‍♀️ The book cover is blue, showing stone balustrades and stairs, with the shadow of a teenage (presumably) girl holding a knife falling across the steps.

It's dark and pouring with rain in Devon today. The woodburners on, and there's a truce between the cats as they all want to sit near it. I've got tea, a blanket, and I want to make #spookyreadssunday a thing, if it doesn't exist already.
