A fireside chat with two blockbuster novelists!
Bestselling authors Linwood Barclay and Lucy Foley and discuss the joys of writing spine-tingling thrillers with CHCH TV news anchor Annette Hamm. A not-to-be-missed event for mystery and suspense book lovers!
In Barclay's latest novel, I Will Ruin You, a teacher’s act of heroism inadvertently makes him the target of a dangerous blackmailer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. A riveting thriller that raises the question what price is worth paying for one good deed?
Foley's latest, The Midnight Feast, is a deliciously twisty locked room murder mystery. It’s the opening night of The Manor, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. Just outside the Manor’s immaculately kept grounds, an ancient forest bristles with secrets. It all began fifteen years ago and now the past has crashed the party. And it’ll end in murder at The Midnight Feast.
A Different Drummer Books will be on site with books for sale.
