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.

This year the Festival’s new Reader In Residence, Martyn Waites, is turning readers’ attention to outstanding writers whose books, for one reason or other, have not yet achieved the widespread success or recognition that they so richly deserve. Get reading and join in the discussion!
