The Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year was announced. The prize was created to celebrate the
very best in crime fiction and is open to UK and Irish crime authors
whose novels were published in paperback from 1 May 2017 to 30 April
2018.
2018 marks the 14th year of
the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year award. The winner will be
announced at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, hosted
in Harrogate each July.
The longlist of
18 titles were selected by an academy of crime writing authors, agents,
editors, reviewers and members of the Theakston Old Peculier Crime
Writing Festival Programming Committee. The shortlist of six titles will be
announced on 27 May, followed by a six-week promotion in libraries and
in WHSmith stores nationwide. The overall winner will be decided by the
panel of Judges, alongside a public vote. The public vote opens on 1
July and closes 14 July at www.theakstons.co.uk.
