45. Crime Time Conversations

Discover some of the most anticipated mystery, suspense, and crime novels of the season, as three authors take the stage to introduce their books in conversation with Marian Botsford Fraser. Lower City is a bold debut from Alex Spring AKA Jared Bland, blending a high-stakes viral kidnapping with incisive real-world social commentary. Detective Kate Taylor races against time to solve an art-world heist with life-or-death consequences in William Wodhams’s Thirty Feet Under. Bestselling Irish author Liz Nugent enthralled Festival-goers with Strange Sally Diamond; she returns with The Truth About Ruby Cooper, a dark and addictive novel about two sisters and the shocking incident that changes their lives forever.  

Liz Nugent's attendance made possible thanks to the generous support of Culture Ireland.
