A firm Festival favourite, the Readers’ Book Group takes the book group out of the living room. This informal and relaxed hour brings like-minded people together to share their love of reading great crime fiction and is free to attend.

For 2011 the Festival’s Reader-In-Residence Martyn Waites will be joined by authors Christa Faust and Cathi Unsworth to explore the murky world of noir fiction. Don a fedora, slip a gat in your pocket and get reading!
