Simply Books
In conversation with a leading host, Chris will be discussing his brand new book, how he crafts his award-winning mysteries and why a small town is the perfect setting for a murder.
Every book and ticket comes with a copy of The Parkwood Murders, which Chris will sign and dedicate on the night.
About The Parkwood Murders
For its loyal guests, Parkwood Holiday Village in west Dorset is a haven: woodland walks, a tranquil lake, service around the clock.
Until, just after midsummer, a body is found floating in the swimming pool.
Detective Nicola Bridge, exhausted by worries about her troubled teenage son, faces a resort full of suspects: a husband lying about his whereabouts, a high ropes instructor hiding unexplained scars, and a polished new manager with a dangerous secret.
With hundreds of guests and staff on site, Nicola must race to uncover a web of lies before the killer disappears.
Or strikes again…
