Join Mandy Morton and Nicola Upson, two of the Felixstowe Book Festival’s favourite authors, come together at Felixstowe Library to offer cracking crime reads for Christmas.
Nicola will talk about her eagerly awaited new Josephine Tey mystery, THE VOICES OF THE DEAD, published 5th November.
London, 1941. In the aftermath of the Blitz, Detective Chief Inspector Archie Penrose supervises the transportation of the National Gallery’s most precious paintings to their new sanctuary in the slate mines of north Wales. Vacationing in the area is Josephine Tey as well as Noel Coward—who is preparing his defiant new play, in which Margaret Rutherford plays a clairvoyant.
But when a woman’s grave is discovered amid the debris of a collapsed roof in the mines, Archie and Josephine are plunged into a forty-year-old mystery. As secrets emerge, a new death threatens to tear apart the close-knit Welsh community.
In this thrilling novel, no one is immune to the voices of the dead – and there will be no rest until they are heard.
Mandy will dip into her much-loved No. 2 Feline Detective Agency series to talk about THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAWS.
It’s a week before Christmas when Hettie and Tilly set out on a dangerous case for The No. 2 Feline
Detective Agency. Lady Eloise Crabstock-Singe has summoned them to Crabstock Manor on the Cornish
Coast, convinced a servant cat haunts the Manor intent on killing off all the Crabstocks.
Should they put their trust in Absalom and Lamorna Tweek? What is Evergreen Flinch searching for? And will
Saffron Bunn’s cooking get any better?
Through blizzard and storm, stranded on the notorious Bodkin Moor and laid up at Jam Makers Inn, will
Hettie and Tilly save the day and get home in time for Christmas dinner?
Join Nicola and Mandy for an afternoon of great conversation, full of Christmas spirits. Tickets are available from Felixstowe Library, £8 including refreshments.
