I’m Honor Brightwell, and I’d love to share my Sam Holliday stories with you. Set in the world of children’s book publishing, Sam finds there’s more happening than she’d expected, as she uncovers greed, murder, and revenge in the most unlikely places.
Sam’s investigations take her away from her home town in the Cotswolds to the fells of Cumbria, and the remoteness of the Welsh hills. Will her new-found sleuthing skills give Sam the answers she’s looking for?

Reviews
Brilliant
‘I loved this book so much I didn’t want it to end. So brilliantly written and such rich characters I really felt like I was there.’
– Pippa Shay
Talented
‘A very talented writer with a distinctive voice. Honor Brightwell creates a warmth between the characters and a world I wanted to be in.’
– Stephanie Richards
Loved it!
I loved Dying to Draw. It’s not often you read crime that makes you laugh out loud, but this does – and it still leaves you wondering how things will turn out in the end. Now all we need is Sam Holliday Fan Club T-shirts and more books!
– Mark McArthur-Christie
Fascinating
FascinatingI loved the first book as the background of the publishing world is original and fascinating. The second book is even more enjoyable, with an eerie setting, a budding romance, relatable characters and a delightful blend of menace, suspense, and gentle humour.
– Christina Turner
Hooks you in
An excellent debut novel. It is a story that hooks you in from the beginning and keeps you guessing to the end, not just about “who did it” but also about Sam and what might happen to her. A great book to read on cosy winter evenings and on holidays. I shall look forward to the sequel.
– Caroline Phillips
A Twisty Tale
Honor Brightwell’s lengthy career in publishing holds her in good stead in this twisty tale of murder and corporate crime.
