 Today is the day... nothing more to be done... Once release day comes, there is nothing more an author can do except hope that her creation, over which she has agonised for (in my case) 12 long months, is received with kindness. It is bitter sweet because this is the final book in the Harriet Gordon Mysteries... the series arc has concluded. I am not saying it will be farewell to ever to our favourite characters but an adieu for now. Rather than have a release party, I have prepared a video in which I answer reader questions about the Harriet Gordon Mysteries and read a chapter from AGONY IN AMETHYST. Just click the button below to watch the video. ABOUT AGONY IN AMETHYST Curran has been absent in London mopping up the mess from the events of Book 4 and Harriet has found a new position for herself. Now they are back together but Curran has to come to terms with a professional disappointment and the imminent arrival of an important dignitary with whom he has crossed paths in the past. When a school girl dies at a ball, a Pandora's box of dark secrets will be unleashed that threaten to destroy Curran's career ... and possibly the fragile new relationship! AGONY IN AMETHYST is available in print and ebook world wide. Audio is coming (hopefully before Christmas). Early reviews are already up on Goodreads… with thanks to my ARC team. All the current buy links are on the button below, with the exception of my own store from which you can purchase print books with a personalised dedication… Click HERE One final thing… if you find yourself in need of a character list for any of the Harriet books, you will find them (along with a glossary) on my website. Click HERE. It’s one of those things… you get some readers who love them and others who hate them so the website is my compromise! All the best Alison xxx

 Yes... the adventures of Harriet and Curran are continuing and this story will see them back in Singapore after their sojourn in Kuala Lumpur. BUT there are forces at work that will continue to make their lives difficult (probably me... the author!). I am absolutely thrilled with the cover for Book 5, AGONY IN AMETHYST (the work of the talented Fiona Jayda Media). The building featured is what is now known in Singapore as the Istana - the Presidential Palace - but in Harriet's time was Government House. You will have to read the book to discover the significance! The book will be released in ebook and print editions on 28 October. Audio will come later. For now you can preorder the ebook from some distributors and the print book direct from Alison's Bookstore (if you would like it personalised). AGONY IN AMETHYST An important visitor casts a shadow of darkness and death over Singapore.
Harriet Gordon, newly settled in her new role as a teacher at a girls' school in Singapore, faces uncertainty in her budding relationship with Robert Curran, who has just returned from months in Kuala Lumpur. Curran's expected promotion turns sour when the position is given to an old adversary from his Scotland Yard days. The arrival of the Colonial foreign secretary, Sir Henry Cunningham, revives memories of one of Curran's unresolved cases. The death of a schoolgirl at a lavish ball, hosted by the Governor in honour of the visitor, brings Curran into direct conflict with his new superior officer. When he confides his suspicions to Harriet, she inadvertently betrays his trust, threatening his already shaky career. With their relationship on the brink of irreparable damage, a second death changes the course of the investigation. Can Harriet and Curran bring justice to a grieving family and emerge from this ordeal with their connection intact? Delve into the captivating world of the Harriet Gordon mysteries. Grab your copy today for a tale of intrigue and suspense set in the tropical heat of colonial Singapore. |
