It’s MEDLOCK publication day!! 🎉😍 It’s hard to put into words how exciting it is for this book to go out into the world. I started it six years ago, just before the pandemic hit, then wrote it throughout the first lockdown, hoping one day it would find its way into the hands of readers. And that day is today! 🧡📚 You can find it in Waterstones stores and many independent bookshops. Thanks so much to the team at @LittleBrownUK, my editor @CallumMichaelK and agent @JoannaSwainson for being so enthusiastic about this book over the intervening years and making the journey to publication a complete joy! You can find it at various retailers here: geni.us/Medlock Signed copies are available at independent bookshops if you click the link marked as ‘Signed Edition’! 🎃💀

We are proud to have two more books from Michael Robotham (his 20th and 21st novels!), with the first - Tell Me Something True - coming September 2026. If you love atmospheric, clever, emotional stories that explore a small town after a devastating event, you will devour it
