16-19 September 2010 – We have added an extra day!
Enjoy four criminally good days of author talks, panel discussions, children’s events and so much more at the 3rd Reading Festival of Crime Writing.
Val McDermid, Christopher Brookmyre, Lindsey Davis, Paul Doherty, Nicci French, Sophie Hannah, Andrew Taylor and many more are all set to appear at the festival, along with our popular Brought in for Questioning talks that include Professor David Wilson, the UK authority on serial killers and pathologist Dr Ken Shorrock.
…and Reading’s local history is up for investigation again with a new crime walk from Local Studies Manager David Cliffe.
Lots more authors and events will be added as we head for the summer, so ‘keep ‘em peeled’ on this site for further updates and news.
