Murder in Harrogate | Pre order your copy now

For one weekend every July, thousands of readers descend on the historic English town of Harrogate, Yorkshire in pursuit of mysteries, mischief and murder. In Murder in Harrogate, ten of the world’s best known crime and thriller writers come together in honour of the world’s largest Festival of crime writing, the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival.

From a missing person case inspired by Agatha Christie’s infamous disappearance at the Old Swan Hotel to a murdered Macbeth to a vicious parkrun assault, these razor sharp stories are a testament to the Festival’s rich history, stretching over two decades.

Curated and edited by former Festival programming chair and award-winning author Vaseem Khan, contributors include Ann Cleeves, Mark Billingham, M.W. Craven, Elly Griffiths, Abir Mukherjee, Clare Mackintosh, Steve Cavanagh, Janice Hallett, Vaseem Khan, and Ruth Ware.

Available to pre-order now in hardback at a #TheakstonsCrime exclusive discount of £17 per book (RRP £20). This offer is only available when purchasing via the official Harrogate International Festival’s website.

Number of pages: 288
Dimensions: 240 x 156 mm Vaseem Khan, author and editor, said: “This collection represents a high-water mark for crime anthologies. With a roll call of household names in crime and thriller writing turning their warped minds to the short story format, we have something for every taste. Historical crime, contemporary killings, psychological chillers, and mini-thrillers. It was a delight to work with such murderously good authors and with Orion and the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival. Editing the collection was simply a matter of firing the starter pistol and watching the bodies pile up.”
