Richard Osman brings Harrogate crime writing festival to a close
A conversation between Pointless star Richard Osman and author Mark Billingham brought Harrogate's prestigious crime writing festival to a close last night.
Osman, who wrote the Thursday Murder Club, was one of many leading crime writers to visit Harrogate for the four-day Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival.
Mr Osman also helped his team win a crime writing-themed quiz hosted by renowned authors Val McDermid and Mr Billingham.
The festival, which didn't take place last year due to covid, was held at Harrogate's Old Swan Hotel and organised by the arts charity Harrogate International Festivals.
Chris Whitaker's book We Begin at the End was named crime novel of the year on the opening night.
