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?

Robin Stevens Hi Hannah, I haven't actually seen Pretty Little Liars yet (I don't know why, as I think it'd be right up my street), but I'm a huge Mean Girls fan and it was a big influence on Jolly Foul Play. So you're right! I wanted to write about a clique of nasty girls, and about how dangerous bad friendships can be.

Hi Robin. Do Hazel and her dad get on? She always seems scared of him and he seems cross at her most of the time so I just wondered what you thought

Hi Robin, do you know if your US publisher has plans to release A Spoonful of Murder and Death in the Spotlight any time soon? It's been almost a year since they pubbed Mistletoe and Murder, and I'm eager for another installment!
