The Shots Magazine team of Blogger Ayo Onatade accompanied by Editors Mike Stotter and Ali Karim were delighted to accept invitations to the 2025 Michael Joseph annual crime fiction party, hosted in The Crypt at St Martins-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square,. London.
We have been attending for many years now, previewing the
forthcoming crime fiction publications that would be released by this important
imprint of the PenguinRandomHouse group.
Previous reports remain archived, here for 2019, and video footage from 2018 Joel Richardson's welcoming speech -
....and 2017 as well as a video collage from 2008 -

2025 marks the 90th anniversary of the formation
of Penguin Publishing.
Michael Joseph was a bestselling author before he turned
publisher in 1935 – the same year Penguin paperbacks were launched. In 1985,
exactly half a century after their mutual founding, Michael Joseph became the
commercial imprint of Penguin Books.
So it was a delight to chat to Penguin’s Publishers Rowland
White and Joel Richardson together with Deputy Publicity Director Gaby Young and
her colleagues – who we thanked for throwing a wonderful party as ever – a far
cry from the days of The Union Club in Soho, where
Rowland would stand precariously on a rickety chair to welcome the guests to
the Penguin Michael Joseph annual soiree.
We were delighted to learn that Steve Mosby’s alter ego is
coming to film featuring Robert De Niro and directed by James Ashcroft –
What is The Whisper Man about?
Based on the New York Times bestselling novel by
North: When his 8-year-old son is abducted, a widowed crime writer looks to his
estranged father, a retired former police detective, for help, only to discover
a connection with the decades-old case of a convicted serial killer known as
“The Whisper Man.”

We feature and array of photos for the event as we mingled
with the Penguin authors and their Editorial and Publicity teams – and many
colleagues from the London Literary scene.
