AGAD in NetGalley's Top 10 UK Books of the Month

Exciting news: As Good As Dead appeared in “The UK’s Top Ten Books of the Month, November 2015” at NetGalley.com!

I am, of course, heartsick at having missed your messages, and I hope you'll contact me again in the future, either here on my website or via Facebook.

All best wishes,
