East Riding Libraries are getting involved in the Crime Writers Association’s National Crime Reading Month this June, with a selection of author talks popping up across East Riding libraries.
National Crime Reading Month is an initiative developed and run by the Crime Writers’ Association, this year in collaboration with The Reading Agency, which aims to bring new books to existing readers and new readers to the world’s most popular and best-selling genre.
East Riding Libraries have put together a selection of criminally good authors of every kind, from cosy crime to archaeological detectives.
Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, eight authors will appear in as many East Riding Libraries, including local authors Nick Quantrill, Barry Rainford, Jason Monagham and Glenda Young.
