Cosy Crime

In the genteel world of cosy crime, murder is rarely messy - at least, not on the carpet… 

Part of our Festival of Words, this delightfully devious panel will dive into a world of sharp-eyed amateurs, village gossip networks, and the occasional suspicious teacup. Authors Ian Moore (Death & Croissants), Alice Bell (Grave Expectations), and Katy Watson (A Very Lively Murder) reveal how they plot the perfect crime without spilling a drop of Earl Grey. 

Keeping them all in line (or trying to) is Frankie Pellatt, co-host of The Labours of Hercule and Read and Buried podcasts.
