Author Glenda Young will give a talk at The Word, National Centre for the Written Word in Sunderland on 15 September 2026. The talk will be about her award-nominated Seaview Hotel cosy crime series. The ticket price for the event is £2.88.
Join author Glenda Young for a fun, informal talk about her award nominated Seaview Hotel cosy crime series, set in Scarborough.
The Seaview Hotel mystery series was shortlisted for Best New Crime Series with Richard Osman and Val McDermid in the Dead Good Readers Awards. Glenda's new book is Music to Die For at the Seaview Hotel. It stars Eighties pop band The A64 who reunite for the gig of a lifetime at Scarborough's Open Air Theatre. Seaview Hotel landlady Helen Dexter is overjoyed when they book into her hotel. However, old tensions rise in the band. It's clear each musician has something to hide. Why is lead singer Starr running away from her past? Why is Pete the drummer secretive about where he's been for the last forty years? And when guitarist Dave breaks his legs in a freak window-cleaning accident, a new guitarist arrives, causing more discord. Then, as the band rehearse for their comeback gig, a dead body is found. Can Seaview Hotel landlady Helen Dexter and her rescue greyhound Suki hit the right note and solve the crime?
