National Crime Reading Month

May is the time for murder and mayhem – hopefully only in books. Usually the NCRM initiative, promoted by the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA), is a month-long series of physical events taking place in bookshops, libraries and literary festivals up and down the country. It’s obviously not going to be like that in May 2020, so the CWA have come up with online ideas instead. If crime fiction and non-fiction is your thing, pop along to www.crimereadingmonth.co.uk for YouTube videos of Crime Writers in Residence and for blog posts from authors under lockdown. For for all-year-round info, blogs and short stories, try the Crime Readers’ Association www.thecra.co.uk.
