A Body in the Gardens

Many thanks to local crime author Russ Thomas who joined us for a splendid session last night (13 June). We heard readings from two of his Sheffield-based novels and talked about why he chose the Botanical Gardens as the setting for his best-selling murder-mystery NightHawking.

Richard from the Rhyme & Reason bookstore brought a selection of Russ’s and other books for us to browse and buy. We’ll be talking to Richard about other authors who we might like to visit us in the Dorothy Fox Education Centre. And look out for our planned literary tour of the Gardens, which could include where Russ chose to bury his NightHawking body!
