Join us for an evening with popular acclaimed crime writers Gytha Lodge and L. V. Matthews; where they’ll will be discussing their latest novels ‘A Killer in the Family’ and ‘Silent Waters’

A Killer in the Family by Gytha Lodge

Aisling’s two sons, Ethan and Finn, mean everything to her.

Ever since becoming estranged from her own parents, though, she’s always felt like a piece of her is missing. Desperate to find answers – about her family, and herself – Aisling uploads her DNA to an ancestry website, and is thrilled when it finds a match.

But instead of finding answers, she comes face to face with a detective. Aisling’s DNA is a match for a recent crime scene – the latest in a string of murders by a dangerous serial killer, known as ‘the bonfire killer’. And the police have three lead suspects: her father, or one of her two sons.

Aisling would do anything for her family – but can she protect a killer?

Silent Waters by L. V. Matthews

For fans of Gillian McAllister and Lisa Jewell comes a powerful and haunting novel about family, secrets and murder.

Is blood thicker than water?

At five a.m. one summer’s morning, police diver Jen Harper wakes to find herself submerged in the silt of a river with no memory of how she got there.

Forty-eight hours later, she’s called to dive in the same river in search of a missing woman, Claudia Franklin.

But for Jen, this is no ordinary job. Her and Claudia’s families were entangled for decades – there is unresolved resentment between them, unspoken secrets.

Jen hasn’t seen Claudia for twelve years now. Or has she?
