Highlights from Poison at Penshaw Hall’s first week

The second of my Milverton Mysteries, Poison at Penshaw Hall, has been out for a week now, and I thought I’d share a few of the highlights!

#1 Best Seller in LGBTQ+ Mystery

I first noticed that glorious orange badge on the afternoon (NZDT) of 26 October 2023, just over 18 hours after the book became available worldwide. Poison at Penshaw Hall went on to hold the top spot for over FOUR DAYS, and it was only when I woke up on Halloween that I noticed it had been knocked off its perch. It sure was glorious while it lasted!
