I SHOULD like to thank Griffin Books for arranging the excellent talk by Ann Cleeves at All Saints Church last Thursday.

Mrs Cleeves told us of her early life and gave insight into how the `Vera` and `Shetland` series came to be written.

She then answered questions and signed copies of her new book `The Moth Catcher`. It was a most enjoyable and instructive afternoon and I think we were very fortunate that she chose to come to Penarth.
