Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Lucy Dauman, Finn Cotton and everyone else at Killer Reads and HarperCollins who have worked hard on this short story. You’re a great team and allow me to write the stories I want to tell.

To the hard working bloggers from my two blog tours, this short story is dedicated to you. You’ve taken Matilda Darke to your hearts and written great reviews for my first two books. Long may you continue supporting my work and my characters.

A special thank you to my nameless police contact who gives invaluable advice. Any mistakes are my fault and for the purposes of storytelling.

Thank you also for the continued support from my mum and close friends (you know who you are).
