CREDITON Bookshop, The Bookery, will take people on a trip back in time at a fascinating evening of history, mystery and adventure with an award-winning historical writer on Thursday, July 6.

Laura Shepherd-Robinson is the author of “Blood and Sugar”, a crime thriller set in the backstreets and docklands of 19th century London. 

The acclaimed historical writer and researcher, hailed as the Queen of Modern Georgian Literature, will be talking exclusively to the audience at The Bookery at 7pm.

She will be revealing her latest book “The Square of Sevens”, a gripping tale of fortune-telling, secrets and superstition set amongst the well-heeled salons of Georgian Bath and London and the lewd ribaldry of Bartholemew Fair. 

Her new book will also be on sale at the event. 

There will be a chance to ask questions - and discover how award-winning fiction makes its way onto the page, and what made Laura Shepherd-Robinson leave a 20-year career in politics for a new life writing fiction.  

It promises to be an intriguing and entertaining evening at the bookshop.  

Admission will be £6 (redeemable against a copy of the book).
