Freja asked Robin Stevens:

Do you have any tips on writing historical fictions with murder? I really enjoy your books! I am currently on Top Marks for Murder. The book I am writing takes place in 1887 in London. The main character's brother is going to be murdered by her other brother, and there is a love interest, but the main character (Catherine) is scared of falling in love because she was raised to be super independent.

Robin Stevens This sounds great! Good luck with it! Make sure you read lots of books written around 1887, both novels and non-fiction, as well as more modern novels and history books about the period. It's so important to know what life was like during the time you're writing about, so you can write about it in a way that feels real!

jam asked Robin Stevens:

I just finished reading Jolly Foul Play and I LOVED it!! I know you said that it was inspired by The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton but I think it was also like a mixture of Pretty Little Liars and Mean Girls. What do you think?
