Jen asked Charles Todd:

Is there an timeframe of when the new Bess Crawford will be released?

Charles Todd Dear Jen:

Publishers Weekly 12-10-24

Mystery/Crime
Charles Todd's A CHRISTMAS WITNESS, the next installment in the Ian Rutledge series, plus two new Rutledge novels, and a Bess Crawford novel, to Luisa Smith at Mysterious Press, in a significant deal, at auction, in a four-book deal, for publication in fall 2025, by Lisa Gallagher at DeFiore and Company (world).

I am hoping for a release of the new Bess in 2027. First they are printing a Rutledge Christmas Novella in the fall of 2025 and in March of 2026 a Rutledge Mystery. I hope the next Bess will be released in the Spring of 2027.

All the Best,
Charles
