The annual Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate happened last weekend and, as always, it was an amazing weekend of crime fiction, bookish antics, parties, and awards. It was a time to rub shoulders with like-minded types who write and read crime fiction, and to catch up with friends and meet new ones. After introductions from the festival organisers and sponsors, each of the six shortlisted authors was presented with a silver tankard and invited to speak about their novel. Clare was presented with the award by Simon Theakston and broadcaster Mark Lawson. I would like to thank my publishers and agent for supporting me, everybody who has read and recommended I Let You Go, and the crime writing community for their endless encouragement.

Since James Bradley's Gothic thriller The Resurrectionist was first published a year ago it has, to be kind, enjoyed modest sales. The tale of Edinburgh body-snatchers in the murderous era of Burke and Hare has sold fewer than copies. But that is apparently about to change. And unless he is very unlucky, Mr Bradley can expect can now expect to be selling , copies — much more than if he had won the Booker Prize. Another novel on the list of pool-side recommendations is The Outcast, Sadie Jones's tale of a claustrophobic post-war Home Counties childhood. As one of six titles short-listed for the Orange Prize, The Outcast has enjoyed hardback sales of 6,, but its inclusion in Summer Read could see sales rise tenfold. Both titles are now being rushed into paperback.
