Our 2025 Festival Read is The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey.
A No.1 Sunday Times bestseller and shortlisted for Book of the Year – Debut Fiction at the British Book Awards, this captivating and heartfelt debut is already winning the hearts of readers across the UK.
Set in Yorkshire in 1979, during a time of cultural and political change, the story follows 12-year-old Miv, who becomes convinced her father wants to move the family ‘Down South’. Because of the murders. She and her best friend Sharon set out to investigate, compiling a list of everything suspicious in their small town. But what they discover ends up revealing far more than they expected.
Join us on Wednesday 17th September at 6pm in Budleigh’s Public Hall for a very special evening with Jennie Godfrey. Tickets are just £8 and include a glass of wine or soft drink.
Pick up your copy now for just £5 (cash only) from Pebble of Budleigh or The Rowan Tree, read it over the summer and come ready with your questions.
🎟 Tickets go on sale from Monday June 16 at 9am at budlitfest.org.uk
