June is National Crime Reading Month. Join four of the UK’s leading crime writers at Waterstones Chichester to discuss the dark, delicious joys of reading crime fiction. Come along to hear about the books that made them want to write crime – and tell them about what kind of writing you’re passionate about. The authors will be signing books after the event.
