AN AUTHOR made a surprise visit to Reading last week, and quickly got his pen out.
BP Walter, who penned thrillers such as The Dinner Guest, The Woman on the Pier, and Hold Your Breath, popped into Waterstones’ Broad Street branch.
It was a bit of a busman’s holiday, as his day job involves social media coordination for the company’s head office.
During his visit to the historic store, build on a former chapel, Mr Walter signed copies of The Dinner Guest and The Woman on the Pier.
In a tweet, Waterstones Reading said: “We were delighted to welcome lovely author
@BarnabyWalter, who dropped in to sign some copies of his thrillers this week.
“We were also very excited to hear more about ‘The Locked Attic’ – due out this Nov.
“If you’re after a well plotted page-turner, look no further than these.”
And BP replied: “Was so lovely to drop in and say hi.”
