Blog Tour Calendar #Rararesources #AliceCastle #CalamityInCamberwell

Kicking off tomorrow, on publication day, there’s a blog tour, organised by Rachel, of Rachel’s Random Resources, for Alice Castle’s new cosy crime novel Calamity in Camberwell. No review from me this time, but as I reviewed the first two books in the series last month, I agreed to host a promo post, including a rafflecopter link for a chance to win a signed copy of the book. Lots of other book lovers are reviewing though, so head to any of the blogs on the calendar or follow @rararesources on Twitter for links to blog posts, for reviews.

Rather than read to her he began to craft stories about the trees, plants and animals that live in his garden. As time passed and a second grandchild also enjoyed these tales of adventure and daring, the stories began to create a whole world that lived and went about its business right in his garden.

Blog Tour Calendar: ‘The Bespokest Guide To London’, organised by #rararesources

I’ll be doing a ‘Q&A’ post for this tour, because I didn’t think I’d have time to review – I only have a MONTH to finish my dissertation. Reading the ‘Q&A’ I’ve been sent, I wish I did have the time to read the book. It’s too funny! But you’ll see on my tour stop what I mean. I’m posting on the last day of the tour, so feel free to have a gander at some of the earlier posts.

A little about the book

The Bespokist Society Guide to…London

“sparse… some glaring omissions” FoodPorn London

“only page 23 is of mild interest” http://www.londonpetlover.com

“Wow!!! A genuinely bespoke city guide!!!” Tommy Sponge, Chairman, The Bespokist Society

You have in your hands one of the most curated city guides ever created. As the first travel book produced by the hugely influential Bespokist Society, this handy guide takes you to a London you’ve never seen: a London of challenging Etruscan restaurants, edgy branding parlours, emoji hotels and hidden Icelandic communities; a London where 8-ply toilet paper is a thing.

On the way, meet an eclectic band of inspiring Londoners – from scriveners to socialites via urban wordsmiths and coffee preachers – and see why London is now the global epicentre of Bespokist consciousness, community and culture.

And about the author 

The Bespokist Society Guide to London is a work of fiction written by born and bred Londoner, Jeremy Liebster. Somewhat surprisingly, Jeremy is also a city lawyer – formerly at DLA Piper and now a General Counsel within a large private equity group. Jeremy is utterly obsessed with travel books and although he might poke fun at urban fads, hipster fried chicken is his guilty pleasure. He also has an unusual interest in clothes hangers.

Blog tour calendar: Duck Egg Blues, by #UnglessM, organised by #rararesources

I’m taking part in this blog tour and I rather enjoyed the book so I can’t wait to tell you about it. Anyway, here’s the calendar or the tour. I’m one of the first to review so if you’re interested you can read what others thought of the book too.

Duck Egg Blues Full Tour Banner

Here’s some information about Duck Egg Blues and author Martin Ungless:

Duck Egg Blues Cover

Duck Egg Blues is funny, sad, mysterious and thrilling. “A robot butler detective, what’s not to love?”

Martin Ungless is a WCN Escalator Prize winning author who has twice been shortlisted by the Crime Writers’ Association for their Debut Dagger Award.

What the CWA Judges said about his work:

‘A clever and ambitious story’
‘I was laughing and crying and hugging the sheets to my chest’

This perfect slice of ‘cozy crime’ is narrated in the voice of a pre-war English butler and concerns a rich and powerful businesswoman whose daughter goes missing from their country house estate. That the story- teller is a robot belonging to an impoverished detective brings a fresh and original take on ‘cozy’, and as for ‘crime’… well, it does begin to escalate, what with MI6, criminal gangs, corrupt police, and that’s not to mention international cybercrime!

As the plot strands weave together, we discover that behind one mystery lurks a greater threat. No one is safe, not even PArdew…

This is without doubt the robot-butler-detective thriller you have been waiting for!

Purchase Link – https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duck-Egg-Blues-PArdew-Book-ebook/dp/B071226XSW

For the duration of this blog tour, Duck Egg Blues will be on a Kindle Countdown Deal, so if you are tempted, purchase before the price rises

Author Bio – Following this year’s success, Martin Ungless had now been shortlisted three times by the Crime Writers’ Association for their Debut Dagger. He has won a WCN Escalator Award, and been successful in a number short-story competitions. Martin started life as an architect though now lives in the Norfolk countryside and writes full time. Martin is currently studying for the prestigious MA in Fiction (Crime) at UEA.
