It is such a pleasure to be taking part in the cover reveal for Under the Blazing Sun by Jenny Lund Madsen today. Many thanks to Anne Cater from Random Things Through Your Letterbox and Orenda Books for inviting me.
I was so impressed by Jenny Lund Madsen's debut, Thirty Days of Darkness and loved her spiky protagonist, Hannah. I'm so excited to read the sequel, Under the Blazing Sky – especially now I've seen the gorgeous cover!
Before I show it to you though, here's the blurb;
Hannah is miserable. Her love life is in ruins, her contract demands a sequel to her bestselling crime debut – and she’s out of ideas. After a mortifying TV interview, her agent ships her off to a sun-drenched Sicilian villa with a simple order: finish the book. No distractions. No excuses.
But inspiration doesn’t strike – murder does.
When a night out ends in murder, Hannah finds herself at the centre of a murder investigation … again. The police want her out of the way, and the only person who seems to believe her is a young but charming Italian police officer. That is, until she doesn’t.
Soon Hannah is chasing suspects, fleeing crime scenes, and doing whatever it takes to avoid becoming the next victim. She came to write a crime novel. Now she’s trapped inside one.
Dark, sly and deliciously atmospheric, Under the Blazing Sun is the second novel in the award-winning series featuring accidental sleuth and disgruntled literary author Hannah, whose pursuit of plot twists keeps turning dangerously real.
I can't wait to read it!
Now for that cover...
What a beauty!
Under the Blazing Sun will be published by Orenda Books on 21/5/26 and can be pre-ordered here.
