A DEVON crime author is coming to Crediton.

Stephanie Austin will be at independent bookshop The Bookery on Crediton High Street from 7pm on Thursday, November 14 in conversation with veteran Devon historical crime author Michael Jecks.

Ms Austin’s first novel was published in 2019. Her latest book Death on Dartmoor Edge is the eighth instalment in the Devon Mystery series.

Set in Ashburton, it features amateur sleuth and reluctant antique shop owner Juno Browne who must “avoid being fatally entangled in a web of deception and murder”in “London's glamorous but shady theatreland” as she attempts to get to the bottom of why her friend is being blackmailed and why an actor is on the run from criminals.

Tickets for the event cost £4 and are redeemable against a book purchase on the evening.
