Can't wait for this, it's a real honour to be involved, but also quietly tickled by the BBC referring to me as Mr Thorogood. (In my head, Mr Thorogood is still very much my dad)

Just thrilled to bits to be on this list, it's real pinch yourself territory.

They came for the books, but stayed for the Des O'Connor songs. Thank you for having us, Chorleywood Bookshop!

It’s launch day for “Murder on the Marlow Belle”, the 4th book in the Marlow Murder Club series! We’ve just got back from a lovely event at Marlow Bookshop, where Robert Thorogood was on hand to sign copies , and give one of his highly amusing speeches! Congrats on launch day @robthor.bsky.social !

Had a brilliant launch party at the Marlow Bookshop. Do come and get a signed copy of the latest book from them if you want to do the full Marlow Experience.

Good morning! Today's publication day for MURDER ON THE MARLOW BELLE, which is very much a woohoo moment for me. If you'd like some woohoo in your life, do please get yourself a copy. linktr.ee/robthor

As Keeper Of The Murder Mystery Flame®, a glowing review from the Puzzle Doctor is swoon-inducingly exciting. So, as he says... "if you want to see the near-perfect cosy mystery in action, then I strongly recommend Murder On The Marlow Belle" You can buy the book here --> linktr.ee/robthor

A quick PSA: we're now entering the Reign Of Terror where I shout about my new book until publication day*. Apologies in advance, but it takes so bloody long to write a novel, every piece of positive feedback - like the stella review below - is greeted with utter relief and joy. [* 16th Jan]

Thank you for saying, Debbie! The book doesn't come out for another two (or so?) weeks, so yours is about the first 'in the wild' review it's had.... 😊 I hope you have a happy 2025 year of reading!

Work your way down the list and try and get through number 4 without crying with laughter. Thank you, Ian. (Apols for making this feel like clickbait, but I don't want to Spoiler the list, it's such a joy)

This thread 100% It's how I, and everyone like me on the lowest of the very lowest rungs of writing in the 1990s, all met in London and had the time to try out mad stuff that mostly didn't work but sometimes did (and also have the time to defeat alien invasions in Sim City 2000).
