Welcome to my second newsletter, bringing together more criminal goodies for the month of June. In this issue, we take a look at Glasgow crime writer C.S. Duffy, who has two crime fiction series for you to get stuck into. And we have a peek at some of the great events lined up in the Borders Book Festival, which is running a seriously impressive programme that includes plenty for crime fans.
But first of all, let’s say a MASSIVE congratulations to Sandstone Press, whose Celestial Bodies by Jokha Alharthi won the 2019 Man Booker International Prize. It happened in May rather than June, and it’s not crime fiction, but this is such a huge achievement (for Sandstone, and also for Scottish publishing as a whole), we simply have to shout about it! Superb!

As always, I’m keen to hear what you think – let me know your thoughts on the newsletter, and if you want anything added into next month’s edition, drop me a line.
Until then, be as bad as you can be!
