Overview

A day of crime-writing panels and one interactive session at The Old Woollen in Leeds, held as part of the Farsley Literature Festival. Authors discuss moral choices and secrets in fiction.

Crime Day is a day of panel discussions on crime writing, held at The Old Woollen in Leeds as part of the Farsley Literature Festival. Visitors can attend the full programme or choose individual sessions, and one of the events is interactive.

The first panel looks at moral dilemmas in crime novels, where characters face impossible choices and the line between right and wrong blurs, with Ilona Banister and Jo Murray. A second panel, with Mel Pennant, LD Smithson, Jess Kitching and Claire Quinn, examines how secrets and lies create suspense, raise the stakes and deepen characters. The closing session, Can You Solve the Murder?, is led by Antony Johnston.

Between sessions there is time to fetch food or order pizza to eat on site, and the authors'books are available to buy and have signed. The day suits readers of crime fiction and anyone interested in how the genre is built.
