In her second appearance at this year’s CrimeFest in Bristol, Elizabeth Haynes will be talking about her latest novel, Never Alone — hailed ‘a sublime masterclass in suspense’ (Clare Mackintosh) — and discussing the intriguing subject of ‘Escaping the Shadows of the Past: when your protagonist can’t forget’.

Joining Elizabeth on the panel are fellow crime writers Katerina Diamond, Thomas Enger, Ragnar Jonasson and Simon Toyne.

Elizabeth Hanes’ first novel, Into the Darkest Corner, was Amazon’s Best Book of the Year 2011 and a New York Times bestseller. Now published in 37 countries, it was originally written as part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), an online challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. Her second novel, Revenge of the Tide, was published by Myriad in 2012 and her third, Human Remains, in 2013. Under a Silent Moon, the first in Elizabeth Haynes’ Detective Inspector Louisa Smith series (Sphere), was published in 2014 and the second in the series, Behind Closed Doors, in 2015.

This event is part of a weekend conference. Tickets are available from CrimeFest.
