Free author talk with Alex North, the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival's Big Read, about his novel 'The Whisper Man', led by Reader-in-Residence Julie Mae Cohen.
The Big Read returns to Harrogate Library on Friday 27 November, and this time the book on the table is The Whisper Man by Alex North. It's the 15th edition of the event, and the author will be there in person, with the session led by the Festival's Reader-in-Residence, Julie Mae Cohen.
If you're not familiar with how it works, The Big Read is the North of England's biggest annual reading-group event. It starts each summer at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, and from there it travels across northern libraries and community venues as part of HIF Engage's regional programme. The whole point is to bring together people of all ages around books, authors, and each other, so it's as much about the conversation as it is about the reading.
One of the best bits is that every attendee gets a free copy of the featured book, so you'll have The Whisper Man in your hands before the discussion even starts. Alex North is the author, and he'll be there to talk through it alongside Julie Mae Cohen, who leads the session. If you've already read it, it's a chance to hear the writer's own take; if you haven't, you'll walk away with the book anyway.

The session is at Harrogate Library on Friday 27 November, starting at 2:30pm. Tickets are free, but you have to book in advance and places are limited, so it's worth getting your name down sooner rather than later.
