Theakstons Crime Writing Festival 2018 Launch Party

The Shots team enjoyed an energetic time last week, as guests of Theakstons Crime Writing Festival, as the 2018 Program of events was released at a wonderful party, hosted in London’s Covent Garden.

It was timely, as in 2017 for the first time, Crime and Thriller outsold General and Literary fiction in the UK, with Lee Child the UK’s biggest selling author, and who is the chair for programming for the 2018 Theakstons Crime Writing Festival, hosted in Yorkshire’s historic Harrogate?
