Growing, growing, gone…
Penrith, in the heart of the Lake District, is not the kind of place you can easily vanish.
Certainly not when the members of the Penrith Bingo Club are trying to track you down. But even stalwart sleuth, Amita Khatri, and her son in law, Jason, are foxed this time when a local woman tells them her husband, a mild-mannered academic has gone missing.
And he’s not the only person to disappear. Soon Amita, Jason, and irascible retired copper, Frank, are searching for more people – and some missing money to boot.
From the veg patches of Penrith to the shores of Ullswater, as Jason and Amita comb the Cumbrian countryside for clues, they soon realise they’ve stumbled a case where planting the evidence takes on a whole new meaning. And unless they can unearth some answers soon, they might be the next people to disappear…

Crime Family Fortunes Saturday 13th September / 10-11PM / ALBERT HALLS / £12/£11 We asked 100 people to name a popular game show that we could persuade leading crime writers to participate in to provide an hour of fun on a Saturday night. Our survey said… we should do something not remotely connected to a well-known ITV show… ahem. Craig Robertson will be your host as two teams of authors go head-to-head to name the most popular answer to survey-based crime questions. Laughs and gaffes are guaranteed as Steph McGovern, Callum McSorley, Mark Billingham, Elly Griffiths, and Laura Lippman take on Richard Coles, Catriona McPherson, Vaseem Khan, Jonathan Whitelaw, and Marnie Riches.
Cosy Like Sunday Morning: Judy Murray, Marnie Riches, Mel Pennant, Jonathan Whitelaw Sunday 14th September / 10.30-11.30AM / GOLDEN LION / £11/£10
Know it sounds funny… and it is! Play it for laughs with these four slices of cosy crime. An ace tennis coach is killed and someone’s going to court as Judy Murray serves up a smash-hit mystery in Game, Set and Murder. A body in the greenhouse sows the seeds for The Bromley Botanists to dig for the truth in Marnie Riches’ The Gardeners’ Club. Mel Pennant introduces a highly original Windrush-generation heroine in her engaging debut A Murder for Miss Hortense. More plant-based puns are unearthed in Jonathan Whitelaw’s The Garden Club Murders, a pacy romp across the Lake District. This event will be chaired by author Catriona McPherson
