About TOPCWF26 Critics' New Blood - Old Swan Hotel

The authors of four outstanding debuts, as chosen by some of the UK’s top crime fiction critics, will discuss their books with head critic Natasha Cooper in this perennial Festival favourite.

Leodora Darlington’s impressive debut The Exes is an unbearably tense thriller which will keep you guessing. Anna Maloney’s breathtaking The 10:12, centres around a train hijacking and a split-second decision that changes everything. A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage is the wickedly funny debut from M. K. Oliver. Mel Pennant introduces a formidable lead character in the delightful and thought-provoking A Murder for Miss Hortense.

Included in a Weekend and Saturday Rover Ticket.
