I was asked to share one of each, but if you know me, when it comes to crime fiction and crime festivals \u2026 I can be a bit of a rule breaker \ud83d\ude09 Truth be told, there are SO MANY events I\u2019d like to attend (and will be attending) but let\u2019s get into the main two!<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><b><u>What I\u2019m Excited About: <\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">I love the fact that Bloody Scotland offers debut novelists the opportunity to be a part of the festival and promote their releases with the Crime in the Spotlight opportunity and the debut prize (see below). This year I\u2019m even more excited because two people I know are up for the prize: Suzy Aspley and her INCREDIBLE debut CROW MOON published by Orenda and Doug Sinclair, (who is an attendee of Crime & Publishment so I feel like I proud mama bear) with his debut BLOOD RUNS DEEP published by Storm. Incredibly proud of and excited for them both! All the books sound great and no doubt will be bought by me to get signed (except Doug\u2019s because I already bought a signed copy! \ud83d\ude1d) Here\u2019s more about the event \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11457 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/crimebookjunkie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_8997.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crimebookjunkie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_8997.jpeg 401w, https:\/\/crimebookjunkie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_8997-300x154.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\"\/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><b><span class=\"s4\">Debut Prize Panel <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Friday 13th September, 16:30, Central Library<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year may not be the snappiest prize title around but it\u2019s undoubtedly among the most sought after.

Ian Moore\u2019s Death in Le Jardin is un libre fantastique as a housekeeper is accused of murder in rural France.
