The Case of the Vanishing Painting

one book, one school

I was delighted that St Brigid’s School in Castleknock choose The Case of The Vanishing Painting as their One Book, One School project.  Almost five hundred pupils and teachers were involved, with sixteen classes reading the book simultaneously.

On the final day of the project there was a wonderful atmosphere when I visited the school and read the last two chapters of the book!

best-selling new novel

It was good to be back in County Clare for Literacy Week in Ennis, during which I visited Ennis CBS, Ennis National, and Barefield National School.  Here I am with Feargal O’Dulaing of the wonderful Ennis Bookshop, after I heard the good news that my latest book The Case of the Vanishing Painting, was Number Two in the top ten of Irish bestsellers.
