“This book has more shadowy mysteries than twelve graveyards and more delicious twists than my favourite pretzel. All hail Lockett & Wilde!” Lemony Snicket

"A BRILLIANT new series of spooky mysteries! I loved the warmth and the wildly funny characters - especially Colin the rather naughty parakeet - and of course our dynamic sleuthing duo Matilda Lockett and Edgar Wilde!" Ben Miller

"Funny, spooky and cosy - I loved it!" Andy Stanton

Lockett & Wilde: The Ghosts of London

Spooks are everywhere in this city, and it isn't long before Lockett & Wilde are called upon to investigate strange happenings at a local curiosity shop. Soon they are drawn into the unsolved case of the infamous gold thief, Bullion Bill, and Matilda finds herself investigating the story of her own parents' death. The ghosts of London know the truth, and Lockett & Wilde won't rest until they find it out.Classic spooky mystery reimagined for fans of cosy crime. You'd have to be DEAD not to love it...

Lucy Strange

Lucy Strange is the bestselling author of The Secret of Nightingale Wood, the Waterstones Prize-shortlisted Our Castle by the Sea, and The Island at the Edge of Night. Her books capture elements of classic children's literature in a style that is engaging and accessible for today's readers. Often inspired by the gothic genre, folklore and fairy tales, Lucy combines British landscapes and historical settings with touches of the supernatural, creating convincing worlds in which anything might happen... Right now, Lucy is probably sitting in her writing shed at the bottom of her garden, gazing out over the misty meadows of the Kent countryside, dreaming up her next fantastical tale.

Some of the ticket options that don’t include the author’s book, or are specially priced for couples, are limited in number and can sell out quickly. Our aim is to try and bring the best and most interesting authors to our town. We are always trying to balance accessibility and affordability for our audiences, alongside requirements from publishers to sell enough books for events to be worthwhile enterprises for their authors.
