In the quaint town of Hoslewit, the Killer Lines Crime Fiction Festival is underway. But this year, the murder isn’t staying confined to the pages . . .

A

Novel Murder

The biggest names in crime writing have congregated to celebrate all things bookish and murderous at the Killer Lines Crime Fiction Festival. With a programme packed with seminars and signings, egos and alcohol, it's sure to be a thrilling weekend.

Author Jane Hepburn is determined this is going to be her year. She's not quite reached the heady heights of best-sellerdom yet, but is convinced that if she can just make the right connections at the festival, it could be the start of a whole new chapter.

Then her literary agent is killed, and Jane's plans are derailed. But if she can solve the murder, perhaps it will provide the boost her writing career needs? If she lives to tell the tale, that is.

Set in the world of books, and for fans of Richard Osman and Richard Coles, Janice Hallett and Nita Prose, A Novel Murder is the book you'll be dying to read.
