About this Event

Join bestselling author of the much loved Horrible Histories books Terry Deary as he discusses his new crime novel Actually, I'm A Murderer – a funny, clever and deeply satisfying multi-stranded M**der mystery revolving around an unforgettable group of strangers on the night train to Newcastle. Set in the north-east of England in the seventies, the lives of an actor, tech pioneer and political advisor are thrown into turmoil when sharing a carriage with an unremarkable little man with round glasses, on the night train back to Newcastle.

Book signing to follow.

Terry Deary is the author of over 350 published books, selling over 38 million books in 45 languages. He rose to prominence as the author of the acclaimed Horrible Histories series, which made him the best-selling children's non-fiction writer since records began. The series was adapted for a BAFTA-winning CBBC television series. In 2024, he published a book for adults, A History of Britain in Ten Enemies, which became a #1 Sunday Times bestseller with over 100,000 copies sold. Terry was conferred with an honorary Doctorate of Education by Sunderland University in 2000. He lives in County Durham with his wife Jenny and is an avid road runner in his spare time.
