SUMMARY:An Evening of Wine and Crime with Wine Expert Olly Smith
DESCRIPTION:We’re all set to uncork the most irresistible crime novel of 2026! \n\n\n\nBritain’s favourite Wine Expert invites you to join him as he tells us all about his wine-themed debut novel featuring protagonist Barclay Flint and his friends from The Bottle Bank wine shop. It’s an exuberant and irresistible mystery from vibrant personality and BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen Presenter – Olly Smith. \n\n\n\nAnd where better to host this event than Farsley’s fabulous wine bar – Cargo Wines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nIn an idyllic Sussex town\, renowned for its annual Bonfire Night celebrations\, murder is fermenting. \n\n\n\nBarclay Flint is the charmingly eccentric proprietor of The Bottle Bank and can taste a kaleidoscopic universe in a single glass of wine. He delights in matching customers to the grapes of their dreams. But when his close friend\, struggling vineyard owner Victor Crawshaw\, is found dead\, Barclay finds himself a prime suspect. To crack the case and clear his name\, Barclay must deploy his wine detection skills and follow his nose through the rolling Sussex hills where a tangle of old resentments and rivalries awaits to ensnare him. \n\n\n\nWith a killer on the loose and Bonfire Night fast approaching\, the town crackles with anticipation. This year the fireworks might not be the only things to explode… \n\n\n\nAbout Olly Smith \n\n\n\nOlly started his career as a screenwriter. He wrote on several series of Pingu\, won a Golden Award of Montreux for Charlie and Lola\, contributed to Wallace & Gromit and penned episodes of Meg & Mog and Horrid Henry! \n\n\n\nIn 2005 he won Wine Idol which launched him into the world of TV presenting. In 2006 he became a presenter on BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen\, where we see him every other weekend interviewing celebrities\, reviewing cookbooks and\, of course\, telling us about the most exciting wines in his uniquely joyous and memorable style. \n\n\n\nDeath by Noir is his debut novel and he’s currently at work on the second book in the Bottle Bank series. \n\n\n\nDoors at 7pm.

Only three people know the truth of what happened on the night of the tragedy. \n\n\n\nNow the vertigo is back\, and Fiona must stem the outbreak before it threatens St Cordula’s future\, or worse\, another girl loses her life. \n\n\n\nBut when one of her pupils begins a dangerous investigation into the past\, old secrets start to twist into new scandals… \n\n\n\n‘So thrilling and unexpected that it made my head spin’ – LISA JEWELL \n\n\n\n ‘Gripping\, twisting\, furiously clever’ – RUTH WARE \n\n\n\n‘Original\, suspenseful\, and with complex characters that spring irresistibly to life on the page’ – LOUISE CANDLISH \n\n\n\nAbout the Author \n\n\n\nErin Kelly is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Poison Tree\, The Sick Rose\, The Burning Air\, The Ties That Bind\, He Said/She Said\, Stone Mothers/We Know You Know\, Watch Her Fall\, The Skeleton Key and The House of Mirrors\, as well as Broadchurch: The Novel\, inspired by the award-winning TV series. \n\n\n\nThe Poison Tree became a major ITV drama and was a Richard & Judy Summer Read. \n\n\n\nHe Said/She Said spent six weeks in the top ten in both hardback and paperback\, was longlisted for the Theakston’s Old Peculier crime novel of the year award and selected for both the Simon Mayo Radio 2 and Richard & Judy Book Clubs. \n\n\n\nThe Skeleton Key was a Sunday Times top ten bestseller and was selected as a Waterstones Thriller of the Month.

SUMMARY: The Fall and Rise of the Mölkky Bar Kids 
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself in a blazing tale of sporting splendour that began as a pub conversation gone awry. Join Leeds-based Neil Squires on the launch of his new book; an unlikely story of four men from Yorkshire who found themselves crossing the globe in search of international glory. \n\n\n\nHilarious\, moving and surprisingly profound\, The Fall and Rise of the Mölkky Bar Kids is a lesson in enduring friendship\, growing older and the importance of throwing your hat (and your Mölkky stick) in the ring when you’re offered a new adventure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nSuddenly in his mid-fifties\, Neil Squires found himself at a crossroads in life. With a journalism career in oscillation and trips to the barber starting to focus more on his eyebrows than hair\, he desperately craved a sporting adventure akin to the ones he had spent his life reporting on. But when he took up an obscure Finnish throwing game\, he had no idea it would lead him and three school friends halfway across the world\, in ill-fitting Team GB kit\, to compete for the nation\, becoming unlikely Japanese media celebrities in the process. \n\n\n\nTravelling 5\,500 miles from home to Hokkaido in pursuit of a gold medal at the Mölkky World Championships\, with the weight of the nation on their rapidly stiffening backs\, the newly formed Mölkky Bar Kids faced humiliating loss\, unexpected victories\, and learned of the power of writing a bonkers twist into your story at a stage in life when most people begin to disregard you.  \n\n\n\n“As my ghostwriter\, Neil Squires actually managed to make one of my books interesting and funny. This is what you get from him when he isn’t compromised by such poor material.” – Jonny Wilkinson
