Guggenheim Mystery at Ilkey Festival

Ilkley 2017 4

I was so pleased to be invited to the Ilkey Festival this year! Ilkley is a lovely town (it has a Betty’s, which is pretty much my test of excellence), and its book festival has been running since the 1970s.

I spoke about The Guggenheim Mystery on Saturday morning to a really wonderful audience – thank you so much to everyone who came, and thank you to Ilkley Festival for hosting me!

Glad to meet some of Yorkshire’s best Detective Society members!
This is my excited face – I was given a hand-made Detective Robin pencil topper present!
These twins were FAR nicer than Donald and Chummy …
Even more lovely Detective Society members!
