Take Three Crime Writers: Julie Wassmer, William Shaw and Lisa Cutts

Wassmer, an Eastenders writer for 20 years, now has a huge following with her crime series. In MurderFest, Pearl Nolan investigates the murder of a famous author at an Arts Festival. Val Mc Dermid says of Shaw’s atmospheric Kent mysteries ‘if you’re not a fan yet, why not?’, and for Peter May he is simply ‘a superb storyteller’. Deadland is a gripping report from Kent’s neglected badlands. Lisa Cutts, a full-time police detective, has used her twenty-three years of policing to write the DC Nina Foster series and the East Rise series. Her latest book, Lost Lives brings to life modern day slavery entwined with a thrilling murder investigation.
