Crime fiction. Live. All year round.
Join us for a series of special author events, conversations and evenings celebrating the very best in crime fiction.
More Coastal Crime. More stories. More chances to meet the authors behind them.
Coastal Crime Presents brings crime fiction off the page and into the room, with a programme of live events taking place throughout the year.
From intimate author conversations and new-book celebrations to special panels and one-off events, it’s another chance to hear from bestselling favourites, discover new voices and get closer to the stories you love.
