Join Fiona Leitch at Bodies in the Bookshop as she talks about her new mystery novel.

It’s (almost) Halloween in Penstowan, and strange things are afoot…

When a developer buys the abandoned convent and cottage hospital of St Ann’s on the edge of town, locals are aghast at his plans to turn the site into apartments. And when menacing voodoo-like dolls are found hidden inside the walls, it looks like the building’s past inhabitants are against it, too.

As the town prepares for the annual Bonfire Parade taking place on Halloween night, ex-police officer Jodie Parker finds herself in a world of witches and Wiccans, whispering voices and ghostly babies crying, as she tries to find out who’s behind the campaign to stop the development. Then one of the builders is found dead at the bottom of a staircase. Has a spectre from the convent’s past come back to take revenge on the living, or are Jodie and her husband, DCI Nathan Withers, looking for a killer of flesh and blood?

Bodies in the Bookshop is delighted to be hosting this evening in honour of the latest book in the Jodie 'Nosey' Parker Cosy Mystery series. Fiona will be in conversation with fellow author Alison Stockham.

This is one of our series of exclusive events that take place in the intimate setting of the bookshop, therefore a limited number of spaces are available.
