An Interview with Clare Mackintosh

Longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award 2024, Clare Mackintosh, joins Harrogate International Festivals and host Joe Haddow, to talk about her book, A Game of Lies.

Seven reality show contestants arrive in the Welsh mountains to compete for a life-changing prize, not realising what they’re truly signing up for.

Each stranger has a secret – and the show will force them to expose one another live on air.

It’s not long before things take an even darker turn, and Detective Ffion Morgan is summoned to untangle the truth behind the scenes.

And when a murderer strikes, every one of Ffion’s suspects has an alibi . . . and a secret worth killing for.
