A Killer Evening for Christmas with Sarah Dunnakey
Armchair detectives! Join author & TV quiz question setter Sarah Dunnakey for the perfect pre-Christmas treat.
This December, head to the bookshop to find out more about The 12 Murders of Christmas – the ultimate killer puzzle book where Richard Osman meets Murdle.
Sarah will give us an insight into how she put together this exciting book that features twelve festive tales – with a twist. At the end of each story, readers receive a clue – with the aim of solving a mystery in time for Christmas. We invite you to find out more about these twelve puzzling whodunnits that will test even the most seasoned of sleuths and serve as fascinating reading for the whole family.
When she’s not writing fiction, Sarah writes and verifies questions for a variety of TV quiz shows including Mastermind, University Challenge and Pointless – so plenty to chat about there too!
Sarah has not only been shortlisted, but has won several short story competitions, and has been published in anthologies and broadcast on Radio 4.
