This perennial Festival favourite provides a showcase for outstanding first-time authors and this year it comes with a twist. Some of the UK’s top crime fiction critics have selected four terrific debuts and the authors will discuss them with 2024 Festival Programming Chair, Ruth Ware.
Colin Walsh’s Kala is a heartbreaking thriller set on the west coast of Ireland, a tale of secrets building to a stunning climax. The Kellerby Code by Jonny Sweet is a piercing portrayal of toxic friendships and the potential for brutality that might lie within us all. The atmospheric Where They Lie, a haunting tale of secrets and startling truths, is the absorbing debut from Claire Coughlan. Martta Kaukonen’s Follow The Butterfly is a powerful, poignant and gripping exploration of whether a killer can be cured, or stopped.
