    Does anyone know of any novels set in my hometown of Beverley? It's for a reading challenge 2015 and you have to read as many books as possible under various categories during the year.

    Valerie Wood has written around twenty novels and they're all set in the East Riding, though I don't know if any are actually set in Beverley(I think most are set in Hull), they're romantic fiction though.

    I think there is a few books about a sleuth priest set in Beverley around the Minster.

    I wonder if any of Val Wood's books are set in the town as she lives there.

    Beverley Westwood sounds like a good name for a crime writer.

    especially if their first novel was called The Black Tower.
