Island author event promises 'murder' and intrigue
The typically quiet Lord Louis Library is preparing for a night of suspense in March.
On Tuesday, March 11, the library will host three well-known Isle of Wight crime writers for an evening of literary intrigue.
The event, named Plotting a Murder, will see authors Anna Britton, Mary Grand and Sue Shepherd delve into the secrets of their popular novels.
Mary Grand is set to discuss her successful whodunnit tales like A Seaside Murder and A Christmas Murder, which are known for their clever plots set on the Isle of Wight.
