Four very different writers discuss (at least) four very different ways of writing a crime novel in a lively and informal panel about the joys of writing and the mystery of technique.

Remi Kone’s terrific second novel Just Kill combines emotional depth with page-turning twistiness. Irish actor, comedian and author Ardal O’Hanlon’s crime debut is the hilarious A Plot to Die For. The latest domestic thriller from bestseller Adele Parks is the tension-packed Our Beautiful Mess. Laura Shepherd Robinson’s latest historical thriller The Art of a Lie is rich in intrigue and deception.Author Sophie Hannah is in the chair.

Included in a Weekend and Saturday Rover Ticket.
