Clare Mackintosh and CL Taylor Writing the Edge of Your Seat

PLEASE NOTE CL TAYLOR HAS REPLACED MARK BILLINGHAM WHO CAN NO LONGER BE AT THE FESTIVAL.

We welcome two internationally best-selling thriller writers as they compare notes on their latest books, how they create high pressure scenarios for their characters, and how they react under them. Clare Mackintosh is a Sunday Times best-selling writer who has sold over two million copies; her latest, Hostage, is described as ‘hypnotically good’ by Lee Child. C.L. Taylor is also a Sunday Times bestselling author. Her psychological thrillers have sold over a million copies in the UK alone, been translated into over twenty languages, and optioned for television. Her 2019 novel, Sleep, was a Richard and Judy pick, and her latest, Her Last Holiday, is out now.
