About this Event

Brand new for 2026 - if you're a fan of Manchester's Crime Central events you can now join our book club.

We will be meeting in the Chief Librarian's Office at 6pm on Wednesday 10th June.

We're pleased to announce that the first book chosen is:

Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy

A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A storm gathering force.

Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny weather-lashed island that is home to the world's largest seed bank. As Shearwater risks being lost to rising sea levels, the island's researchers have fled, and only the Salts remain.

Until, during the worst storm in living memory, a stranger washes ashore. The family nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, but it seems she isn't telling the whole truth about why she's there. And when Rowan stumbles upon sabotaged radios and a recently dug grave, she realises that she's not the only one on the island with a secret.

A novel of breathtaking twists and dizzying beauty, Wild Dark Shore is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love.

Copies of the book will be available to buy from Blackwells at Crime Central on Wednesday 13th May - make sure you grab a ticket!
