Acknowledgements
So here it is – the last Paula Maguire. I’d like to thank everyone who has worked on the books with me, including Ali Hope, Vicki Mellor, Toby Jones, Jemima Forrester, Darcy Nicholson, Kitty Stogdon, Kate Stephenson, Emily Griffin, Sara Adams, Oli Munson, Fran Barrie, Caitlin Raynor, Jo Liddiard, Millie Seaward, Veronique Norton, Sarah Bance for top-notch copyediting, and my wonderful agent Diana Beaumont, who’s always there with a helping hand or wise suggestion. I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone.
Thank you also to everyone has read the books, stocked them in shops, and taken the time to review or contact me about them. Special thanks to David Torrans in ace Belfast bookshop No Alibis, who has always championed me.
I’d also like to thank the amazing crime writing community – way too many to list – for their quotes and support, as well as many fun times in the bar. Thanks as well to my friends and family, for reading and asking when the next Paula was going to be ready.
Thank you to the contact at the ICLVR, who took the time to speak to me about their procedures. I have intentionally exaggerated a few things for dramatic purposes, and any mistakes are of course mine.
That’s it from Paula for the time being at least – thanks for following along on this six-year journey with me. As always, I would love to hear from you, either via www.ink-stains.co.uk, or on Twitter @inkstainsclaire.
