Come and join us this evening 📚

Come and join us on Monday 13th April, where we will be hosting an evening for a talented local Crime Fiction author - Susan Kerell. She will have lots of stories to tell you all, or you can find out more by asking her a question in Q&A session.

"Susan Kerell has been writing for many years, but her first novel lay unfinished until her daughters had the story printed as a book for her birthday. This was the catalyst needed to complete it, and A Time to Let Go was published in 2020 - the COVID year. A book of poetry and a sequel novel followed, but Clues or Coincidences? is her first venture into crime writing. When she is not writing, Susan will be found working in her garden or enjoying time with her family."

Signed books will be available to purchase on the night directly from Susan and are priced at £8.99, CASH ONLY.
• Free entry
• Refreshments available

Clues or Coincidences? The Cavendish Case...
A tragic death in the middle of the night, but who is he? At the same time, about twenty miles away, a murder of an international best-selling author. Are the two deaths connected?

The investigation follows a chain of clues from a postcode to a silly pact between friends. Confusing the CID is the increasing number of coincidences linked to the two cases, or are they, in fact, clues?

It is a gripping mystery, where the line between accident and crime is blurred. What really happened on that fateful night?
