From Allan Guthrie's Newsletter

Delighted to be able to kick off the May newsletter with some excellent news. My debut novel, Two-Way Split, has been long-listed for one of the most prestigious crime-writing awards in the UK, the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel Of The Year, the only award of its kind where the general public gets to vote for the winner.

Here’s the long-list:

Dead Place - Stephen Booth
All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses and Eye - Christopher Brookmyre
Death of a Chancellor - David Dickinson
Never Go Back - Robert Goddard
Little Face - Sophie Hannah
Ash & Bone - John Harvey
The Stranger House - Reginald Hill
The Pure in Heart - Susan Hill
Blood and Honey - Graham Hurley
The Lighthouse - PD James
The Death Ship of Dartmouth - Michael Jecks
Cold Granite - Stuart MacBride
The Train Excursion - Edward Marston
Ratcatcher - James McGee
After the Armistice Ball - Catriona McPherson
Dance With Death - Barbara Nadel
Jacquot and the Angel - Martin O'Brien
End in Tears - Ruth Rendell
Mr Clarinet - Nick Stone
Two-Way Split - Allan Guthrie

Votes can be cast at any Waterstone’s branch in Britain or online by clicking here (fortunately, the voting is much more straightforward than the recent Scottish elections).

So please vote. No pressure, but if Two-Way Split doesn’t make the shortlist, THE PUPPY DIES!
