The Final Vow - MW Craven

A conversation with Tom Speight

Any misanthropes from the far-north of England in the house? Take a bow, Washington Poe, Mike Craven’s best-selling Cumbrian detective. Poe cut his teeth on the mean streets of Carlisle’s Botchergate, thinks nothing of biffing adversaries with a halibut and has a good range of dislikes: self-checkouts, raisins masquerading as chocolate chips, the phrase ‘wild swimming.’

Now a sniper is on the loose and gamers turn nasty in fancy-dress - sorry, costume - while Poe’s sidekick, the cognitively unimprovable Tilly Bradshaw, crunches clues and a climax approaches on fearsome Shap Fell. Braving the elements with Craven is fellow-Cumbrian Tom Speight.
