It’s no secret that we love a good crime novel and psychological thriller here at Griffin Books. So we’re very excited to announce the return of our Summer Crime Night this July. We have not one, not two, but THREE fabulous authors on our panel, all with gripping new books featuring missing people.

A woman is seen on CCTV entering a dead-end alley but never emerges; a family completely disappear from their dinghy in the middle of a lake; a girl goes missing while partying at a music festival deep in the Welsh countryside.

Join Gillian McAllister, Tim Weaver and Louise Mumford for an evening that is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

We’re expecting this to be a very popular event, so book early to avoid disappointment!

Louise Mumford lives in Cardiff and spends her time trying to get down on paper all the marvellous and thrilling things that happen in her head.

This was followed by two more thrillers, The Safe House and The Hotel– both Amazon bestsellers. Her fourth book, The Festival, is released in paperback, audio and ebook on 1 August 2024.
