Sleepyhead by Mark Billingham
Finished this at 1am last night and yeah I’m a wee #sleepyhead this morning.
Review to follow after I’ve recovered from #TheakstonCrime
Friday and Saturday site passes for Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival 2025, with a homemade, artisanally hand-crafted name badge for myself, with an orange paracord lanyard
Well, @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social #TheakstonCrime was fun. I'll post up more about the books and stuff later. The name badge was a big success!
The friendliest festival to meet all your favourite crime writers, publishers, bloggers and reader friends!! An annual delight - thank you @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social @edpr.bsky.social 🫶🫶🫶 #theakstoncrime #bookfestival #crimefiction #crimefictionlovers #crimereader #booksky #bookevent #harrogate

Fascinating being able to sleuth along with the characters! 🕵🏼♀️

Had a fabulous time at the launch party for #theakstoncrime aka The Old Peculiar Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate 2025.
I'll be hosting a table on Friday 18th at the murder mystery event. Great to meet with the team at Head of Zeus and a bunch of authors way cooler than me!
#bookevent
Looks an exciting line up for Harrogate's crime writing festival this year!!

On Thursday I did my first public reading #TheDeadlySpark at #NoirAtTheBar, Blues Bar, #Harrogate.
With my wife, my dad, good friends and my original HQ editor Finn Cotton in the audience, it was a lovely event to be a part of, and kicked off my #TheakstonCrime weekend nicely! 🔥
