Waterstones Derby

Have you discovered The Raven Scholar yet? Written by Antonia Hodgson, who originally hails from Derby, this page-turner is a superb mix of epic fantasy and a high-stakes whodunnit.

Eight contenders from rival monasteries must battle it out to win the crown of Orrun but when one of them is murdered, it falls to brilliant but idiocyncratic Neema Kraa to find the killer. Described as 'Battle Royale with a sprinkling of Agatha Christie' by own manager Jo, this is a thrilling tale of murder, battles and political intrigue.
