13. Ann Cleeves in Conversation: The Alma Lee Opening Night Event
Vera Stanhope, the shabby and sharp Northumberland police detective, has been hailed as a “genre immortal” by The New York Times. And no wonder: Ann Cleeves’ series is internationally bestselling, was developed into a hugely popular UK TV drama, and—11 books in—continues to offer mesmerizing crime novels that are as riveting as they are insightful. In this highly anticipated evening with the author behind the detective sensation, Cleeves will share more about her latest novel in the series, The Dark Wives, in which DI Stanhope is called to investigate the death of a local care worker and the disappearance of troubled teen, Chloe. What drives such prolific creation? How does she weave a page-turning plot with such deft social commentary? Learn about this and more, in this fascinating evening with one of the world’s most successful writers. Moderated by Robert J. Wiersema.
