Lady of the Quay novel by Amanda Roberts brings Berwick in the Tudor era back to life

In the first of a new series of historical mystery-thrillers, award-winning novelist Amanda Roberts takes the reader back to Berwick in the 16th Century.

Lady of the Quay (Isabella Gillhespy Series Book 1) tells the story of a young woman, the only daughter of a wealthy merchant, whose inheritance following the unexpected death of her father is not what she had expected.

The inspiration to set a series of historical novels in Berwick came during a family holiday in the town in 2021, when Amanda’s imagination was captured by the Elizabethan ramparts and the town’s very unique past.

She reached out to Berwick-based illustrator Ali Edwards at Coostie Illustration & Design to create the front cover and an illustrated map that provides a visual guide to the reader who may not be familiar with the town.
