If books could kill . . .

Welcome to the Killer Lines Crime Festival!

In the quaint town of Hoslewit, the biggest names in crime writing have congregated to celebrate all things bookish and murderous. With a programme packed with seminars and signings, egos and alcohol, it's sure to be a thrilling weekend.

Author Jane Hepburn is determined this is going to be her year. She's not quite reached the heady heights of best-sellerdom yet, but is convinced that if she can just make the right connections at the festival, it could be the start of a whole new chapter for her and her books.

Then her literary agent is killed, and Jane's plans are derailed. But if she can solve the murder, perhaps it will provide the boost her writing career needs? If she lives to tell the tale, that is.

Set in the world of books, and for fans of Richard Osman and Richard Coles, Janice Hallett and Nita Prose, A Novel Murder is the book you'll be dying to read.

Industry Reviews

'Funny, sharply observed and fiendishly clever' - Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
'Wickedly funny modern cosy with so many twists you'll get whiplash.' - Ian Moore
'With a sympathetic protagonist and a cast of suitably obnoxious suspects, E.C. Nevin's eviscerating portrait of modern publishing is couched within an immensely readable mystery. Rarely will the industry feel so seen. A wicked, wicked book.' -Vaseem Khan
'Wise, witty and tremendously fun, E.C. Nevin's A NOVEL MURDER is a must-read for anyone who's ever attended/fancied attending a crime fiction festival. The characters and their motives for murder are all too recognisable, sometimes painfully so! 5 stars.' - Jessica Bull
