IT WAS Caversham by the sea last month as a popular author popped in to a popular bookshop.
Vera Morris visited Fourbears Books in Prospect Street to sign copies of her latest novel, Death By The Sea.
Set in Suffolk in the 1970s, it tells the story of a depraved killer who interferes with the mysterious theft of rare plants from some gardens.
Only The Anglian Detective Agency can crack the case.
The book was published by Hachette at the end of October, and is the latest in Ms Morris’ series featuring the detectives.
Of her visit to Fourbears, she tweeted: “Great time meeting old friends and making, hopefully, new ones.”
It’s not the only event the bookshop has held.
On Sunday, it welcomed three poets – Robin Thomas, Susan Utting, and Claire Dyer – as they launched his latest collection of verse, Half The Human Race.
