Author talk and signing: Sarah Ward

The Birthday Girl: They’re here to unwind. She’s here to kill. Welcome to Eldey, an island with deadly secrets...

Tuesday 18 April 2023 from 7pm. Sarah Ward will be discussing her latest book here in Lincoln Museum's auditorium. 

Mona is a carefree artist, staying at The Cloister to work on her illustrations. Beth is the harried mother of a toddler, on the remote Welsh island for a weekend escape with her family. Charlotte wanted a romantic getaway with her husband, not a trip with his troubled teenage stepdaughter. One of them is a serial killer who poisoned three of her friends at her eleventh birthday party. When one of the hotel guests is found dead, it becomes clear to Mallory Dawson – the night manager of the boutique island hotel and former police detective – that The Birthday Girl is among them. Three guests fit the profile, but which of them would risk everything to kill again?
