GIVEAWAY – 3 copies of Curtain Call at the Seaview Hotel – SCARBOROUGH
31st July 2022
We are delighted to join forces with author Glenda Young and offer you 3 copies of Curtain Call at the Seaview Hotel, set in Scarborough.
UK only
Curtain Call at the Seaview Hotel is a fun, cosy crime / murder mystery set in Scarborough and published by Headline. It stars an acting troupe who arrive at Helen Dexter’s Seaview Hotel to rehearse a play they hope will save a much-loved local theatre. There’s a lot riding on this play. However, the leading lady is a diva, the playwright is highly strung and tension in the troupe is high. When one of the actors is found dead on the beach, landlady Helen Dexter and her rescue greyhound Suki set out to solve the crime. But just when Helen thinks things can’t get any worse after one of her guests is murdered, the hotel inspector arrives!

Scarborough
Pennan in Scotland, beautiful
I have a soft spot for Swanage in Dorset.
Stonehaven, near Aberdeen
Has to be Hastings for me. Love their castle, the caves, their little streets and their crazy golf.
Lots of idyllic places in Cornwall – Falmouth, St Ives, Marazion to name a few but also lots of lovely resorts on the North East Coast, Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington & Whitby

Skegness. It was my childhood seaside go to place
As a child it was always Skegness but now as an OAP I prefer the peace, quiet and the amazing miles of sands around Burry Port in South Wales. 600 miles round journey there as opposed to 40 for Skeggy but so worth it.
Tynemouth. It’s near to home and has a beautiful beach, historic priory and the occasional surfer!
Three cliffs bay, mumbles South Wales spectacular beach
We absolutely love Beadnell! We’re lucky enough to live not far from Northumberland’s stunning coastline and have had many family cottage holidays there. The kids when younger loved it (rockpooling, jumping off the pier at the harbour, using a line to catch crabs off the harbour too!) kids in their teens now but we all still love going
Scarborough – used to holiday there every year as a child. Very exciting that the book is set there.

I like Selsey, we always used to go there as kids.
I’m from the Fylde coast and have to give love to the pleasures of Blackpool. It is what it is!

Thurso in Caithness. I lived there for a year in my teens and loved the small seaside town atmosphere and the great sense of community. I suppose it’s more touristy now since the advent of the North Coast 500 though.

Thanks yor the chance to win.
I keep returning to Minehead, so that must be “the place”
My favourite seaside town is Scarborough. I love it for its sandy beaches, it’s wonderful seafront, and the boat trips that take you to see spectacular places along the coast line. Bridlington too, has great charm and is easy to get to from Scarborough so you are spoilt for choice.
