Join bestselling crime author Janice Hallett for an unmissable evening as she discusses her eagerly awaited new novel, The Killer Question—already named one of the Guardian’s Books to Look Forward to in 2025.
Hallett, the brilliant mind behind The Appeal, The Twyford Code, and The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels, has captivated readers with her uniquely layered mysteries and innovative storytelling. With multiple Sunday Times bestsellers, a CWA Debut Dagger, and the British Book Awards Crime and Thriller Book of the Year under her belt, Hallett returns with another twisty tale that will leave audiences guessing.
The Killer Question transports readers to the quiet village surrounding The Case is Altered, a now-abandoned pub once run by beloved locals Mal and Sue Eastwood. Known for their friendly pub quiz nights, their sudden disappearance—and a body found in a nearby river—has left the village buzzing with questions. As cryptic quiz sheets, suspicious WhatsApp messages, and buried secrets surface, the truth becomes harder to pin down. Could you solve the mystery?
This is your chance to hear directly from one of the UK’s most acclaimed crime writers about her inspiration, writing process, and the story behind her most puzzling mystery yet.
