Live streaming from Edinburgh International Book Festival
This event will be held in our new first floor creative learning space (upstairs).
Chris Brookmyre is an icon of Scottish crime fiction and a regular Festival favourite. This year, he returns with Quite Ugly One Evening: a zeitgeisty locked-cabin mystery set on a cruise celebrating an extremely questionable 1960s TV series... Who better to investigate than legendary journalist Jack Parlabane, 30 years since his first appearance in Quite Ugly One Morning? Natalie Jayne Clark chairs a conversation as energising, satirical, and irreverent as the author himself.
