In conversation with Laura Marshall and Fiona Cummins at Deansgate

We are delighted to welcome authors Laura Marshall and Fiona Cummins to Deansgate in celebration of their brand new thriller novels, A Good Place to Hide a Body and All of Us Are Broken respectively.

Joined in conversation by local author Caroline Hulse, the pair will be discussing their gripping new novels and answering audience questions, followed by a signing.

About A Good Place to Hide a Body

Everyone is capable of M**der. They just need to meet the right person.

For women of Penny's generation, being on hand for elderly parents is just part of life. But for Penny, things have become a little more serious...

When she receives a frantic phone call from her parents one night, with express instructions NOT to call the police, Penny rushes over at once. But they haven't had a fall. They haven't forgotten their computer passwords. They've killed someone. And his body is lying in the garden, right next to the rose bushes.

About All of Us Are Broken

Every one of them has a dark secret.

The Family.

After a year they want to forget, the Hardwicke family set out to the Scottish Highlands for a much needed holiday.

The Crimes.

They are about to cross paths with Missy and Fox, a violent and dangerous young couple hell-bent on infamy, their love story etched in blood and a dark past which must be uncovered.

The Detective.

As the clock ticks down, Detective Saul Anguish is on the hunt to find the couple before more lives are lost.

The Mother – who will be forced to make an impossible decision.
