We are so excited to be featuring M W Craven in our Morning Coffee with Crime series in Ripon.
M W Craven is one of Simon’s favourite crime and thriller writers and Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw are a crime fighting tour de force. The Final Vow is the latest of these clever, twisty, intricately plotted, humorous and deeply satisfying novels following on from The Botanist which won the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2023 and most recently The Mercy Chair. Mike has visited the shop before but we’ve never managed to get him to do an event until now. Tickets £10 for admission and coffee/tea, and £20 for admission, coffee/tea and a copy of The Final Vow (RRP £20 so that’s a great deal!) are now on sale in the bookshop and online - click on the button below (booking fees apply) PLEASE NOTE: EVENT NOW SOLD OUT
