I’m delighted and honoured to find that Tabula Rasa has snuck into the Best Books of 2014 list on Declan Burke’s “Crime Always Pays” blog. It’s alongside several books that I’ve been meaning to read, and some that I didn’t know I wanted to read, but now do.
Clearly there’s going to be a lot of crime (hopefully, most of it fictional) happening on the Downie Towers sofa in 2015.

Congratulations ! Well deserved.
Thank you Lora! It was a big surprise.
Ave Ruth!
Thank you! 🙂
Terrific, Ruth, many many congratulations. Have a great Christmas – this news will make it even better; or as an old chap in our village is won’t to say about something specially good, “It’s the icing on the camel’s back.”
Thank you Jane! And a merry Christmas to you, Richard, and all the iced camels of East Yorkshire!
