According to the Yorkshire Post, a crime wave is hitting the county. But don’t rush to lock your doors or cancel your travel plans just yet! The spate of criminal activity hitting the headlines is all purely fictional – a result of the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival hitting Harrogate in July.
In advance of their appearances at the Festival, top crime authors have been talking to the paper about the Festival and their own lives and work. Thanks to the Yorkshire Post online you can go undercover yourself and eavesdrop on brand new conversations with 2009 Programme Chair Laura Wilson and aclaimed author Martyn Waites, as well as catching up with authors from last year’s Festival. You can listen to the interviews on the website or download the podcasts to your computer to listen to at your leisure.
Visit the Yorkshire Post’s own Festival page for the full lowdown.
