| 1 | Why Harrogate? | 2024 | Janice Hallett | Buy |
Janice Hallett contributed Why Harrogate? to the Murder in Harrogate anthology published in 2024 to mark the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, one of the most established annual events in British crime fiction. The festival takes place in Harrogate, Yorkshire, and draws a mix of established names and debut writers each summer.
Hallett’s short fiction sits at the edges of her main output. She is primarily a novelist, and her longer work is where the full formal experiments with found documents and layered narration get room to develop. A short piece like Why Harrogate? functions more as a festival contribution than as a standalone work of the same weight as her novels.
