Crime & historical novelist; winner of both the CWA Diamond Dagger & HWA Gold Crown; latest novel THE SHADOWS OF LONDON
Absolutely gersplunkered (technical term) and full of love for the judges, the HWA, and my fellow brilliant shortlisted authors.
The HWA Gold Crown Award 2020 winner is @AndrewJRTaylor for The King's Evil. "With its rich and exuberant writing and wonderfully realised setting, this is a thrilling, immersive ride." #HWACrowns2020 @HarperFiction
For today only, my latest novel is available on Kindle at the ridiculous price of 99p. amazon.co.uk/Schooling-Murd…
My latest post - on Piercefield, the house that inspired A Schooling in Murder - is now live. andrew-taylor.co.uk/2025/07/23/pla…
Very happy to say that this little fella was at No 4 in the Kindle paid-for chart this morning. Mind you, the fact that its price was only 99p for yesterday only may have had something to do with it.

From the author of The Ashes of London, @AndrewJRTaylor, comes a new historical mystery set in the last days of WWII. For one day only, A Schooling in Murder is 99p on Kindle! Don't miss out! amazon.co.uk/Schooling-Murd…
This book is fantastic, so clever and original. Buy it!
