Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on January 28, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Tim! May your day be filled with more intrigue and excitement than a Simon Bognor investigation—though hopefully fewer suspicious characters lurking around the cake. Your knack for crafting mysteries that keep readers guessing has made you as timelessly entertaining as village cricket on a sunny afternoon.

From unraveling sinister plots in "Death and the Visiting Fellow" to charming us all through quaint yet quirky English villages, you've consistently bowled over fans worldwide. Here's hoping this birthday brings plenty of laughter—and perhaps just enough suspenseful twists (but no actual crimes!) to inspire another unforgettable chapter ahead. Cheers!
