Join us for a special Slaughter in Southwold author talk with Kate Ellis! Kate will be talking to us about her career so far and her latest book Coffin Island. This event takes place at Southwold Arts Centre, IP18 6JP.
Kate Ellis was born and brought up in Liverpool and studied drama in
Manchester. She worked in a variety of jobs, none of which she
particularly enjoyed, before discovering that writing crime fiction was
what she’d wanted to do all along! Described by The Times as ‘a
beguiling author who interweaves past and present’ she has written
twenty eight novels featuring archaeology graduate, DI Wesley Peterson
and five crime novels with a supernatural twist featuring DI Joe
Plantagenet. She has also written a trilogy set in the aftermath of the
First World War featuring Scotland Yard detective DI Albert Lincoln.
Kate was awarded the CWA Dagger in the Library in 2019.
In her
latest book Coffin Island despite many years living in South Devon, DI
Wesley Peterson has never visited the tiny island of St Rumon's. That
is until erosion from a storm reveals three bodies buried outside the
local churchyard. Two are ancient skeletons, but one is far more
recent, and Wesley realises he has uncovered a case of murder. But whose
remains are they? And who killed them?
This event is part of Slaughter in Southwold, an annual celebration of crime and thriller at Southwold Arts Centre. In partnership with Southwold Library and the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA).
This event takes place at Southwold Arts Centre, IP18 6JP.
