Kay and her little sister, Eloise, never imagined that their standard icy Christmas Eve in Cambridge would be the start of a twelve-night odyssey . . .
Kay’s father is working late – as usual. Fed up, her mother bundles her daughters into the car and drives to her husband’s Cambridge college to collect him herself. But when they arrive, the staff claim that nobody by his name has ever worked there . . .
Kay is puzzled by her mother’s reaction – silent tears, not anger and confusion. And what is even more puzzling is the card on her pillow when they return home:
Will O. de Wisp, Gent. F.H.S.P. and Phillip R. T. Gibbet, Gent. F.H.S.P. K.Bith. REMOVALS.
That night, Kay is woken by voices at her window: the voices of Will and Phillip, the Removers. But they are not human. And Kay shouldn’t be able to see them. Except she can . . .
I love getting my reading year off to a magical start, and Twelve Nights by Andrew Zurcher has all the right ingredients to do this. (I confess I haven’t read beyond the first chapter yet, but that was intriguing…) I was very happy to be involved in the cover reveal on twitter (although I’m embarrassed to admit that I forgot to ask who the cover illustrator is when I was dealing with the emails on my phone, so I can’t share that. Will add in when I track them down!) The book is available for pre order on Amazon (and I’m sure other bookshops) and is due out April 5th 2018.
I’m also very happy to be giving away what was described to me as a ‘lovely bespoke, wrapped copy’ of the book – entry through the rafflecopter widget below. The very best of luck to you all. (Full terms and conditions in the widget, but be aware that giveaway is limited to to 18+ with UK addresses, and prize will be sent direct from the publisher.)

Oooooh, ,that looks fabulous. Just the sort of book I’d like. I’m already intrigued and trying to guess the storyline. I’ve added it to my book list of books to order when we are in London next. I’m doing all the things to enter the give-away but we are not in the UK so I probably don’t qualify – even though we do have a postal address in London.
Jax Blunt says
If you are OK to have it sent to a UK postal address, I’m happy to have you enter. That’s usually what I put in the t&c – have I stuffed it up this time?
MIdlifeSinglemum says
Yes I’m happy to have it sent to a London address if I win the draw. Thanks.
midlife singlemum says
Yes I fine with it going to a London address. Thanks

Thanks for the fab giveaway. The cover is beautiful.
My reading has dried up over the last few months but I have a pile of fiction and non-fiction books beside my bed when I manage to restart.

I’d love to read the final George RR Martin Song of Ice and Fire novel this year but it probably won’t get published in time. I love reading random books by authors i’ve never heard of so my reading list is subject to change at any moment
