Tim will be discussing all things crime with authors Katie Marsh, S J Bennett and Sam Holland

SJ Bennett is the author of the bestselling historical mystery series featuring Queen Elizabeth II as an investigator. Over a career spanning sixteen novels for adults and children, she has won the Romantic Novel of the Year award, and been shortlisted for the Crime Writer’s Association Whodunnit and short story Dagger awards. The series has been published in twenty languages, and sold over half a million copies around the world.

Katie Marsh is the bestselling author of ‘How Not To Murder Your Ex’. After writing romantic fiction, she turned her hand to cosy crime novels packed with humour and unforgettable characters. Her debut novel was a World Book Night pick and her books are published in fourteen languages.

Having always been fascinated with the dark and macabre, Sam Holland exploded onto the crime thriller world in 2022. Her debut novel, The Echo Man, shocked and enthralled readers and reviewers alike with its sinister depiction of a serial killer copying notorious real-life murderers of the past.
Her books have been published in 19 countries worldwide, including the US, Germany and the Netherlands, where she became the first author to win the Bronze Bat for her debut and the Silver Bat for best thriller in consecutive years at the Nederlands Thrillerfestival.
The latest, The Killer in Room Five, is out now.

She also writes as Louisa Scarr, and is the author of the Butler and West police crime thrillers, the DS Kate Munro series and the affectionately known ‘dog books’, following a police dog handler. The latest from this series, Leicester Square, came out in October.
