Saturday 21 March: Oxford Literary Festival: I’m looking forward to talking about historical crime fiction with fellow historical novelist Carolyn Kirby at 2pm. 

4-6 September: I’ll be back in Oxford for the long-running Crime Fiction Weekend at St Hilda’s College. This year the theme is ‘Rotten Apples’. They have invited me to be the Guest of Honour, which I am going to interpret as a compliment rather than as a comment on my degenerate moral fibre.
