Book Week promises a treat for crime fiction fans

Fancy taking a Spring getaway amid the stunning scenery of South West Scotland and combining it with a chance to hear from best-selling crime writers including Chris Brookmyre and Dr Marisa Haetzman, who write together as Ambrose Parry, Aline Templeton, pictured here, Sara Sheridan, and myself, plus the opportunity to find out more about emerging talents May Rinaldi, David L Haigh and Ryan Stark?

Then why not book tickets for some of the events at Kirkcudbright Book Week taking place in the first week of March? The town has plenty of hotels and guest houses waiting to accommodate you.

More information on the festival’s crime events can be found at https://kirkcudbrightbookweek.org/2024/12/10/book-week-turns-focus-...
