VERONICA HELEY CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF BEING PUBLISHED!

Veronica Heley celebrates an astonishing 50 years of being published! On Wednesday evening, family, friends, editors and agents gathered at the Pitshanger Bookshop in Ealing to celebrate Veronica's extraordinary writing career.  Following publication of her first crime novel, SUE FOR MERCY in 1974 (available from Lume Books at £1.99), she has written more than eighty finely crafted mysteries (most of them featuring feisty female sleuths Ellie Quicke and Bea Abbot).  At the age of 91, Veronica is still going strong. Her most recent Abbot Agency mystery, FALSE WITNESS, was published in July.  At Joffe Books, we are delighted to be introducing her wonderfully twisty mysteries to a brand-new digital readership.  We published MURDER FOR NOTHING, her 18th Abbot Agency novel, yesterday.
