Join us for an evening with much loved television and radio presenter, broadcaster and author, Jeremy Vine, as he talks about his new cosy crime novel Turn the Dial for Death.
With a lifelong love of crime fiction and Agatha Christie, Jeremy turned his hand to crime writing having been inspired by interviewing Richard Osman. His debut novel, Murder on Line One, the first in a series of murder mysteries set in Sidmouth, was published in April 2025. Now he returns with his second Sidmouth mystery, Turn the Dial on Death.
An impossible death.
A seaside town on the brink.
Stay tuned for murder…
Sidmouth is gearing up for summer – but murder is all year round…
When a doctor is found dead in the woods, shot through the heart with a crossbow, his wife is the prime suspect, despite an ironclad alibi. Desperate to clear her name, she appeals to radio presenter Edward Temmis for help.
But Edward has troubles of his own. With his beloved radio station in crisis and a mysterious motorbike crash on the seafront, the doctor’s death is the least of his worries.
Edward, Kim and Stevie must reunite on a treacherous path to uncover the truth. Can they solve the case before everything tumbles down?
We’re delighted to be hosting this Friday evening event with Jeremy and look forward to welcoming him to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of Turn the Dial for Death.

‘Vine’s second outing for his affable radio sleuth – and his gang of boisterously civic-minded friends – hooks the reader in with an impossible crossbow crime. An excellent mystery, with a humorous bite’ Vaseem Khan, Quantum of Menace
