About
CrimeFest is a convention for people who like to read an occasional crime novel as well as for die-hard fanatics. Drawing top crime novelists, readers, editors, publishers and reviewers from around the world, it gives all delegates the opportunity to celebrate the genre in a friendly, informal and inclusive atmosphere.
The CrimeFest programme consists of interviews with its featured and highlighted guest authors; over forty panels with more than a hundred participating authors; a gala awards dinner; and one or two surprises.
This year, special guests include Andrew Child (Lee’s brother, who has taken over the huge Jack Reacher brand), Vera and Shetland’s author, Ann Cleeves, crime genre stalwart Robert Goddard, and exciting new authors behind hit shows, such as Sarah Pinborough (Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes).
