What a delightful evening with Rob Parker talking all things Cam Killick and the dark and submersive (literally) thriller series set in Norfolk, the first of which was The Troubled Deep, out now in paperback and the brand new book FORBIDDEN WATERS - which David has accidentally held upside down in this photo!

Joined by Chris McDonald, Rob talked about his passion for addressing the ‘epidemic’ that are the mental heath issues crippling so many, his own struggles and how he is now writing the books he has always wanted to write.

Some signed copies in Romiley right now! This series is set to be huge, as it deserves, and we know you will love it. Thank you and

✨Event!✨ Vivian Dies Again - C.E. Hulse in conversation with Hannah MacDonald

Serenity Booksellers Stockport, SK1 1UD
Thursday 5th February 2026

Delightfully dark and wickedly funny, C.E. Hulse’s Vivian Dies Again is a wonderfully entertaining time-loop murder mystery that sees our protagonist repeatedly being murdered and having to solve the case of her own death. Perfect for fans of Groundhog Day and Russian Doll, Vivian Dies Again is an early highlight of 2026 and we’re thrilled to be welcoming Caroline to our Stockport shop for a fun-filled evening discussing the book with Hannah MacDonald (host of A Pair of Bookends podcast).

The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.

Tickets are £5.00 each or £16.99 including a copy of Vivian Dies Again. Light refreshments are included in the ticket price.
Available in the shops or link in comments.

Event starts at 6:30pm (doors at 6pm)

About the book:

Time heals all wounds. Except blunt force trauma.

Vivian Slade is a cautionary tale. The wrong side of thirty, she’s no longer the life and soul of the party - she’s a party of one. But she’s determined to turn over a new leaf, even if that means going to a family gathering where everyone hates her.

Turns out, someone really hates her - enough to push her off a balcony to a very messy end. But then Vivian wakes up! Only to be murdered again. And again. Stuck in a baffling time loop, Vivian’s only ally is a sleep-deprived waiter who just wants to finish his shift. Will Vivian be able to solve her own murder? Only time will tell...
