Beth Underdown - In Conversation

Join us for a evening of gothic mystery as we are joined by author Beth Underdown. Beth's first novel was the The Witchfinder's Sister and won the HWA Goldsboro Crown Debut Award. Beth will be talking about her writing and inspirations and in particular her new book 'The Key in the Lock' which is set in Cornwall. 

Inside a house of ruins is a secret that won't stay hidden...

The Great War is ending, but it has taken Ivy's son. Ivy is consumed by discovering what happened to her boy out there in the trenches, while her husband only wants to forget. Then a man comes back into Ivy's life who can help her find out.

A man who once stole Ivy's heart. A man who also lost his son to a tragedy. A man whose name she hasn't spoken in thirty years.

As Ivy questions her part in the fire at Polneath House, she unlocks a secret that's been burning ever since. But will the truth destroy her - or set her free?

Beth's first novel was the The Witchfinder's Sister and won the HWA Goldsboro Crown Debut Award.
