Buried Dreams by Marisse Whittaker
Author event
2025 will start with a bang when the Tyneside Book Group meet jointly with its three sister groups to hear from locally-based crime writer Marrisse Whittaker.
Marrisse had a career as a make-up artist, helping others to tell stories, but decided she also wanted to write her own. She became a TV scriptwriter and also formed a documentary production company.
In the last few years though she has become a novelist, writing a series of crime noir based in the North East from her home on the Northumberland coast.
Buried Dreams is her fifth and latest book. It follows regular central character Billie Wilde in life outside the police force. Wilde is still sleuthing alongside private investigator Ellis Darque. Crime comes close to home though when a skeleton in a wedding dress is discovered in Ellis's garden.
Marisse will be discussing her writing with members and taking questions on the novel.
