No One Would Do What The Lamberts Have Done
Sophie’s new book, coming very soon and available to pre-order now…
You think it will never happen to you: the ring of the bell, the policeman on the doorstep. What he says traps you in a nightmare, and there seems to be no way out. It starts with the words, ‘I’m afraid…’
Sally Lambert is afraid too, and desperate enough to consider the unthinkable. Is it really, definitely, impossible to escape from this horror? Maybe not. There’s always something you can do, right?
Of course, no one would ever do this particular something – except the Lamberts, who might have to.
No one has ever gone this far. Until Sally decides that the Lamberts will…
“An incident involving a dog in a small village escalates to an all-out conflict, turning neighbour against neighbour, and culminating in murder. But who did it? Who was it done to? You’ll have to read to the final line to find out! Hugely entertaining and infectiously funny, this joyous adventure is one of Sophie Hannah’s very best books. A delight from start to finish.”
Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient

SOPHIE’S NEW POIROT NOVEL
The brilliant Belgian detective rings in the New Year with a chilling murder investigation on a Greek island in this all-new holiday mystery from Sophie Hannah, author of Hercule Poirot’s Silent Night.
New Year’s Eve, 1932. Hercule Poirot and Inspector Edward Catchpool arrive on the tiny Greek island of Lamperos to celebrate the holiday with what turns out to be a rather odd community of locals living in a dilapidated house. A dark sense of foreboding overshadows the beautiful island getaway when the guests play a New Year’s Resolutions game after dinner and one written resolution gleefully threatens to perform “the last and first death of the year.”
Hours later, one of the house’s residents is found dead on the terrace.
In the light of this shocking murder, Poirot reveals to Catchpool the true reason he’s brought him to the island—the life of another community member has been threatened. Now both men resolve to ensure that the first murder will be the last…

THE GUARDIAN
Twin brothers John and George Danes call themselves ‘The Generalists’, and do all sorts of strange jobs for all kinds of peculiar people. They’re about to set off to their next mysterious assignment, at Idlewyld House, when a strange man knocks at their door. This stranger knows that John and George are on their way to Idlewyld House, but he won’t say how he knows. When asked who he is, he says only, ‘I am the murderer’, and then he disappears.
Arriving at Idlewyld House, the Danes twins ask if they have been invited there to solve a murder and are assured that nothing of the sort has happened. Then one of the other guests is found dead at the foot of the stairs…
‘It’s absolutely a fantastic movie. The music’s absolutely brilliant. The story is really well told. Above all else, it’s a great celebration of British ingenuity and British culture.’
