Win reading group copies of The In Crowd by Charlotte Vassell

‘Confirms Charlotte Vassell as one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction. A must for fans of Susie Steiner or Belinda Bauer, the Caius Beauchamp novels are fresh, funny, occasionally furious and I can’t wait for the next instalment.’ ERIN KELLY, author of THE SKELETON KEY

Following the success of Charlotte Vassell’s debut crime novel THE OTHER HALF, we’re offering three reading groups a set of exclusive advance proof copies of her brand new novel, THE IN CROWD.

Download the available document to read the Prologue as a taster and follow the email link below to tell us why your group would like to read Charlotte’s new book.

Deadline for entry has been extended until 3 April (UK book groups only). Here’s some more information about the book:

SOME PEOPLE ARE IN
On the last Saturday in August, politicos and socialites trade tidbits of gossip and sips of Pimm’s under the tasteful bunting of a Richmond garden party. They’d never guess that the police are just a stone’s throw away, pulling a body out of the river Thames.

SOME PEOPLE ARE OUT
The drowning appears to be a tragic accident – until Detective Caius Beauchamp gets an unexpected tip. The victim, it seems, had enemies in high places. Did being on the wrong side of them get her killed?

EITHER WAY, BEING OUT IS ABSOLUTE MURDER . . .

If you’re successful, we’d love for each of your members to share a review on Amazon, Waterstones or the Reading Groups for Everyone website within eight weeks of receiving the books. Thank you!
