A lively evening awaits with the author of the Corpse in a Chester Hotel, the Body at Bala Lake and Death on Barmouth Bridge.

PL Handley will be discussing his writing and reading from his books which will also be available for signing.

P. L. Handley is a Welsh author, screenwriter and film director. Raised in the Welsh-speaking village of Llanuwchllyn at the edge of Llyn Tegid near Bala, he often incorporates his experience growing up in North Wales into many areas of his work.

He first gained recognition with Third Row Centre, which won Best Feature Film at the 2014 Madrid International Film Festival. In recent years, P. L. Handley has shifted his creative focus to murder mysteries set in rural Wales, blending humour and suspense with richly-textured characters.

His recent series of books, The Nesta Griffiths Mysteries, has proven hugely popular with readers across the UK, and he is currently working on the next instalment.

The books on the walls bar and barista service will be in operation for the duration of the event.
