| 1 | Murder in Harrogate: Stories inspired by the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival | 2024 | Janice Hallett | Buy |
Murder in Harrogate was published in 2024 to mark the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, held annually in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The festival is one of Britain’s most prominent crime fiction events, running since 2003 and hosting a mix of bestselling and debut authors each summer. The anthology collected short stories inspired by Harrogate and the festival itself, with Janice Hallett among the contributors.
For readers interested in Janice Hallett specifically, this anthology is a minor entry in her bibliography rather than essential reading. Her novels are where her formal strengths are fully on display. Murder in Harrogate is worth knowing about for completeness, and for readers who are also interested in the broader British crime writing community that the Harrogate festival represents.
