Not only did we get to feature C J Skuse as our Book Club Author for October with her first novel in the series, Sweetpea, but we also got to factor in a face-to-face even AND an online zoom too! Book Club Alumni also were present with Julie Mae Cohen coming to interview CJ – Julie Mae was one of the first book club Authors back in 2020 with her novel, Together.

Although many of us were new to the Sweetpea series, there were some definite die-hard fans in the audience who were eagerly awaiting publication of The Bad Seeds. So we were delighted to be on C J’s bookshop tour celebrating this!
Over 50 book-lovers joined us in The Fairground Hall opposite the Bookshop to hear Julie and C J chatting about all things serial killers. Much coveted pin badges were awarded for the best questions, and we were very lucky to get some insight into the TV series, C J’s thoughts, and what’s coming next.



Afterwards, book-signing took place. The full series of books had been pre ordered by many online customers and many more were interested following the chat, and Julie Mae Cohen’s latest book, Eat Slay Love, was also available and sold out!



The hilariously twisted and dark serial killer thriller you can’t put down – full of humour, sarcasm and a lightweight approach
The last person who called me ‘Sweetpea’ ended up dead…
Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret.
By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friend’s plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list.
A kill list.
From the man on the checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming, Rhiannon’s ready to get her revenge.
Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder…
