  • Come to New York. We got all these ****ing turtles. Fuggetabouttit. #newyork #centralpark #turtles #wildnyc #wildlife #nyc #turtle
  • TBT to February 2019, on the set of Netflix

  • Me, hiding in a corner of Westminster Abbey, having set a scene and potentially a clue from Nine Liars here. #mystery #murdermystery #nineliars #england #ireadya #yabooks #yamysteries #reading #westminsterabbey #clues #yalit
