Rachel Wolf, author of the “glamorous” (Catherine Cooper) and “addictive” (Erin Kelly) thriller Five Nights, will be taking part in “An Evening of Crime” at Books on the Hill, St Albans, tonight.

The event, which begins at 7pm, will see Rachel and fellow authors Heather Critchlow and Caroline Green discuss their latest crime novels and answer questions on what inspired their novels, their writing methods and much, much more.

The event is perfect for Crime enthusiasts, local authors wishing to know more about the publishing industry, and book fanatics. For more information, see here.

A gripping standalone thriller, uncovering the dark secrets of a rich and powerful family over five nights on a glamorous luxury cruise.

Mattia Scarmardo, media and shipping empire mogul and head of the most famous family in Britain, is about to retire. He’s taken his four children and new young wife Belle on the maiden voyage of his new luxury cruise ship. The tabloids are buzzing: is he about to announce his successor?

Belle insists that best friend Emily join the party. She needs an ally against her feuding stepchildren. But from the moment they set off, sinister things start to occur: one son disappears, a second falls ill, and Mattia’s daughter’s business is sabotaged. And, looming over it all, is the question that makes Emily fear desperately for Belle. What really happened to Mattia’s first wife three years ago?

Five Nights is out tomorrow. Grab your copy here, in supermarkets or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
