Chris Brookmyre (2016 Event)

For years he’s been regarded as one of Scotland’s best-loved and
funniest crimewriters, but Chris Brookmyre’s critical reputation
has also steadily grown over that same period and now he counts
among the best-respected writers in his field. With Black Widow,
Brookmyre bravely strides into new political territory with a
thriller that takes in sexism in the workplace, revenge porn and
internet trolling. In this event, recorded live at the 2016
Edinburgh International Book Festival, he talks about the book
which has since gone on to win the inaugural McIlvanney
Prize (previously called the Scottish Crime Book of the Year).
