Harrogate Crime Writing Festival – Buy your books and buy your tickets…

18 Titles Longlisted For Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year

On Promotion in Asda Stores Nationwide

Unlike other literary awards, with the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year it’s what readers think that really counts. The public vote was open from 13th May – 5th June, to help determine which books from the Longlist of 18 will go on to take the prize. Voting has now closed and the Shortlist will be announced on 1st July.

All of the 18 longlisted titles will feature in a 3-week promotion in 252 Asda stores nationwide from today, 28th June, to 19th July. As part of Asda’s Summer Reading Promotion, all of the longlisted books are available at 3 for £10, so you can get your copies of this season’s hottest crime titles at a criminally good price.

And….
