THRILLER & MYSTERY FICTION AT THE TIDES INN

Frankly, if you’ve come to The Tides Inn looking for a quiet drink, you might be surprised. This is where you’ll find thrillers and mystery short stories to entertain, excite and frighten you just a little. Please find a seat (you won’t need the whole thing, just the edge) and enjoy a short story or two. We’ll watch your back while you take your eye off the door. 

You know how it goes. You pull up a chair, my husband Fred pulls you a pint; but then, something odd and strangely disquieting happens. You see something you shouldn’t and, suddenly, you find yourself emersed in some highly implausible, dangerous plot; possibly involving a one-armed man who kills your wife and leaves you framed for her murder. The sort of thing that could happen every day – here. Of course, we have all the usual tipples, but, underneath our quite genuinely jovial, friendly exterior, we have hidden depths. After all, this was, long ago, a hive of smuggling and political conspiracies.  

Maybe you have our own thrilling or mysterious short story to tell; in which case, we’d love to hear it. You might like to visit our Contributions page to discover how to go about telling your tale. Of course, at the home of thrillers and mysteries, you do have the problem that we might not believe a word you say… 

Oh yes, we also do a lovely bed and breakfast. Anne of Cleves herself once slept here, though nothing mysterious happened to her. Or did it?
