Hurry! Our Murder by the Book exhibition closes on Saturday 24 August. Free tickets are available every day this week! 🕵️‍♀️ The exhibition features nearly 100 of the most famous crime novels in UK history, plus Agatha Christie's typewriter! lib.cam.ac.uk/murderbythebook #MurderbytheBook

Probably my favourite item in #MurderByTheBook, the original manuscript of the final Poirot novel, written in wartime and hidden away until just before Agatha Christie's death. Very moving that something so deceptively fragile has such a powerful history. lib.cam.ac.uk/murderbythebook

This audiobook has been helping me through a few sleepless nights (but have been enjoying the amazing moon too!). Probably my favourite of Nicola Upson 🏳️‍🌈's Josephine Tey books, despite being very sad, and Sandra Duncan's voice is fabulous.

So special for me to include this in #MurderByTheBook: a very rare 1st edition of #JosephineTey's 1st book. Don't think I'd even seen a pic of this stunning dust-jacket, let alone held it in my hands, thanks to a bit of magical TLC by the UL's conservators lib.cam.ac.uk/murderbythebook

A Judgement in Stone is an astonishing read. Ruth Rendell tells us everything a crime novel tries to hide in the very first sentence - and yet the whole book is utterly compelling. A real highlight of #MurderByTheBook, on Cambridge University Library until Saturday. lib.cam.ac.uk/murderbythebook

This is a really great exhibition. Try and see it before it ends on Saturday if you can. #booktwitter

Henry Wade's 1940 novel Lonely Magdalen was a revelation to me when working on #MurderByTheBook A book of real humanity and a consummate example of championing the victim. And I do LOVE a map! See it Cambridge University Library until tomorrow lib.cam.ac.uk/murderbythebook

What a truly lovely book.

It's the final day of #MurderByTheBook! Still can't quite believe we've had Wilkie Collins's writing desk on display. The Moonstone is the first great crime novel and still one of the most entertaining. See the desk and the first edition until 4.45 today lib.cam.ac.uk/murderbythebook

Nicola Upson 🏳️‍🌈 Cambridge University Library Thrilled I got the chance to see it - at the death, as it were. It was busy that day, too, and full of wonders. Congrats and with thanks for all your hard work.

Happy birthday Mandy Morton! xx

This was a fantastic night, and lots of fun. As usual, Mandy Morton and I completely failed to guess whodunnit. I sometimes wonder if we're in the right job...

Eric Ravilious was killed in action #OTD in 1942 after the aircraft he went up in during a search & rescue mission off Iceland failed to return. From the countryside to war, his depiction of Britain in the 30s & early years of #WW2 are an incredible legacy, one which lives on.

This will be fantastic.

The new Rebus play is everything you would want it to be - taut, twisty and incredibly classy. Absolutely loved it. Hope there'll be more, Ian Rankin? On Cambridge Arts Theatre for the rest of this week.
