Holly Seddon & Nadine Matheson in conversation with Nicola Everett
Step into a world of secrets, suspense and sharp storytelling as two bestselling authors — Holly Seddon and Nadine Matheson — join Nicola Everett for an evening of thrilling conversation at Maidstone Museum.
Holly will discuss her gripping new novel 59 Minutes, a thought-provoking, time-ticking story about the choices we make when everything is on the line. Nadine will introduce The K*ll List, the latest in her explosive DI Henley series, packed with tension, twists and forensic detail.
Together, they’ll talk about their creative processes, the art of writing suspense, and why we’re all drawn to the dark side of fiction. Expect insights, laughter, and a few surprises.
There’ll be time for audience questions, followed by book sales and a signing.
An unmissable event for fans of crime, mystery, and psychological drama.

'Some thrillers thrill, but 59 Minutes will change the way you think about humanity. Universal, challenging, and bold as hell: it's going to take over the world.' Gillian McAllister
If you knew you had fifty-nine minutes until everything and everyone you love would be lost forever, what would you do with that time?
It's an ordinary evening. People are coming home from work, cooking dinner for their children, cuddling on sofas with their lovers. And then the message arrives, shattering everyone's worlds:
Missiles are set to destroy England in fifty-nine minutes. Everyone should seek immediate shelter.
59 minutes follows the journey of three women trying to make it home to and protect their families. The journeys should be simple, but with a lost schoolchild seeking help, a teenage daughter suddenly going missing, and dangerous criminals on the prowl, there is peril at every corner.
59 Minutes is a gripping, thought-provoking and gut-wrenching thriller perfect for fans of WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME, THE CHAIN and Lisa Jewell.

* Longlisted for Theakston Crime Novel of the Year *
He will come for them, one by one…
Five shocking murders
Twenty-five years ago, DCI Harry Rhimes arrested Andrew Streeter for the brutal murders of five young people. Streeter’s ‘K*ll list’ of victims was found in his home, and he was convicted of all five crimes.
A legacy under threat
Now, Streeter’s convictions are being overturned, as new evidence implies the original investigation was corrupt. No one is more shocked that DI Henley. Because this case is personal; Rhimes was her old boss, and he’s no longer alive to defend himself. But when the killings start up again, Henley must face the truth: Rhimes got it wrong twenty-five years ago.
A hunt for a killer
Henley and her team reopen the original murder cases, but they must put their personal feelings to one side. Because the real killer is still out there, and he’s working his way through a new K*ll list …

Praise for The K*ll List
‘A chilling and gripping serial killer thriller … I raced through it’ Anna Mazzola, author of The Clockwork Girl
‘The most invigoratingly grisly new crime writer on the block’ The Telegraph
