Britain's What's On Event Guide
An Afternoon with J M Dalgliesh
An Afternoon with J M Dalgliesh Proudly in collaboration with Creative Sheringham
One of Britain's most-read crime writers comes to Sheringham's Little Theatre on Saturday 23rd May — and this is an event not to be missed. J M Dalgliesh is an internationally bestselling author whose atmospheric police procedurals have sold over 4.6 million copies worldwide, been translated into multiple languages, and topped the Amazon charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. Listed among the ten most-read authors on Amazon UK over the past decade, his Hidden Norfolk, Misty Isle and Dark Yorkshire series have accumulated over 450,000 reader reviews — a testament to one of the most loyal and passionate readerships in British crime fiction.
March 2026 brought major news: Transworld, an imprint of Penguin Random House, has acquired 28 of Jason's titles along with eight new frontlist books — including an eagerly anticipated new series set in Orkney, due in January 2027. In a further sign of the extraordinary ambition behind this deal, Transworld has also acquired film and television rights to both the Misty Isle and the forthcoming Orkney series, with his wider work already in development for the screen by an award-winning production team.
Born on the south coast of England, Jason has lived across rural England and Scotland and now calls Norfolk home, where he can often be found walking his oversized dog along the north Norfolk coast. Join us on 23rd May for what promises to be a warm, witty and fascinating afternoon with a writer who, in his own words, is only just getting started.
The event will begin with a 45-minute discussion hosted on stage then will open to audience questions in an interactive Q&A session. The event will conclude with a book signing
