Chris Brookmyre

This event has now been rescheduled for the 27th of September. If you had made a previous booking for the last date, we will be contacting you separately via email and your booking will be automatically carried over to the new date.

From the author of The Cut and one half of Ambrose Parry comes a brilliant new thriller. Chris Brookmyre is back with The Cliff House, where a secret-infused hen weekend becomes deadly.

Jen’s hen party is going to be out of control…

She’s rented a luxury getaway on its own private island. The helicopter won’t be back for seventy-two hours. They are alone. They think.

As well as Jen, there’s the pop diva and the estranged ex-bandmate, the tennis pro and the fashion guru, the embittered ex-sister-in-law and the mouthy future sister-in-law.

It’s a combustible cocktail, one that takes little time to ignite, and in the midst of the drunken chaos, one of them disappears. Then a message tells them that unless someone confesses her terrible secret to the others, their missing friend will be killed.

Problem is, everybody has a secret. And nobody wants to tell.

For any fans of Lucy Foley and Richard Osman, this is one not to miss! Chris has become a friend of the bookshop over the years, signing copies of his books, and it’s wonderful we can finally invite him for an event in our Autumn Literary Festival.
