Laura McCluskey in conversation with Katherine Kovacic
Join us for a fantastic evening with Laura McClusky as she discusses her new novel 'The Cursed Road' with local author Katherine Kovacic.
The Leaf bookshop is proud to present 'Laura McCluskey in conversation with Katherine Kovacic'. Please join us for a brilliant evening with drinks, nibbles and of course bestselling author Laura McClusky as she discusses her new novel 'The Cursed Road' with local crime author Katherine Kovacic.
Laura's bestselling 2025 debut novel 'The Wolf Tree' was described as "unputdownable", she's now back with new crime novel 'The Cursed Road'.
In a mountainous region of the Scottish Highlands, a young woman’s body has been found on a remote stretch of road. Though the manner of her death suggests a terrible accident, a name carved into her arm hints at something more sinister.
And when a personal connection to the name is revealed, DIs Georgina Lennox and Richard Stewart are sent to investigate.
As George and Richie question locals, they discover that the road has a bloody history. Fearing that more women will be harmed, they track the killer through a rugged wilderness where ancient feuds, generational curses and the unforgiving elements fight for supremacy.
But there are more secrets to the road than just its history – and the people living along it will do whatever it takes to stop those secrets from coming out.
‘Vivid, haunting, twisty and gut-wrenching, The Cursed Road will have you on the edge of your seat right up until the last page (or hiding under the duvet, like me).’ Pip Drysdale
‘Laura McCluskey has done it again – a spooky, immersive setting, a wickedly clever plot, and a detective duo with their own demons to face. The Cursed Road will have you reading late into the night. Crime fiction at its best!’ Tanya Scott, author of Stillwater
Tickets include drinks and nibbles at the event. Laura and Katherine's books will be available for purchase and to be signed on the night.
Please note that this event will be held upstairs in the shop.
