The Craft Room
Sylvia Blackwell is tired. Her grandchildren are being kept away from her, and the expected inheritance that
might finally get her middle-aged son to move out has failed to materialise – thanks to her mother's cat. It is
becoming increasingly difficult to remain composed. On a romantic clifftop walk for her 47th Wedding
Anniversary, an unexpected opportunity leads to a momentous decision that will irretrievably change the
course of her life. The Craft Room is a darkly comic tale of sex, crepe paper, murder and knitting in a sleepy
Devon town, with a 'truly original' premise and genuinely jaw-dropping moments. What would you do if
unexpectedly freed from bondage you never knew you were in? How would your children cope? How far
would you go to protect them from an uncomfortable truth? You can only push a grandmother so far...

🌟🌟REVIEW🌟🌟
The Craft Room by Dave Holwill
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was very kindly provided with an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have given The Craft Room 3.5 stars.
I had never heard of this author when I picked up The Craft Room, so I had no clue what to expect as I delved into the pages.
I found the Craft Room to be an absolute surprise. It was full of dark humor, it had me laughing out loud in places that I really should not have been laughing at. It was also a little bit over the top but I still found it to be a rather enjoyable read.
Dave Holwill has given us a fun but somewhat naughty read that will have you guessing right up until the very end!
Author Bio
Dave Holwill was born in Guildford in 1977 and quickly decided that he preferred the Westcountry – moving toDevon in 1983 (with some input from his parents).
After an expensive (and possibly wasted) education there, he has worked variously as a postman, a framer, and
a print department manager (though if you are the only person in the department then can you really be called
a manager?) all whilst continuing to play in every kind of band imaginable on most instruments you can think of.
His debut novel, Weekend Rockstars, was published in August 2016 to favourable reviews and his second The
Craft Room (a very dark comedy concerning death through misadventure) came out in August 2017. He is
currently in editing hell with the third.
