Join us for our monthly Book Club catch up. 

We are delighted to welcome Nikki Smith, a local author whose new book ‘ The Last Place You Look ‘ is just out to come along to our book club tonight.

Nikki studied English Literature at the University of Birmingham University, before pursuing a career in finance where she worked for various companies including BDO and Morgan Stanley. Following a ‘now or never’ moment, she applied for a Curtis Brown creative writing course where she started writing her debut novel ALL IN HER HEAD which was pre-empted by Orion in a two book deal. It went on to be an Amazon bestseller, was nominated for the Guardian ‘Not The Booker Prize’ and has been optioned for TV.

Her second novel, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO was published in April 2021 and was also optioned for TV. She then followed her editor and moved to Viking who published her third novel, THE BEACH PARTY, in July 2023, with THE GUESTS in 2024 and THEY HAD IT COMING in May 2025. Her latest thriller THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK will be published in July 2026

Nikki will bring her book along on the night and we thought this could be a great book for us all to read, if you would like to buy the book there is an option when checking out and Nikki will bring it along on the night for you and even sign it!  (The book is on sale for £9.99, but with the Ginger Fig discount brings it down to £8.49)
