The Hindustan Times Crime Writer’s Festival has begun in the capital city and if you plan to visit, then you are bound to find noted journalists, filmmakers and of course, crime writers from across the spectrum, participating in the novel event. This three day initiative is extra special this year since there is a session that will highlight Agatha Christie’s noted works and will also pay a tribute to the ‘Queen’ of crime fiction. Kathryn Harkup, the British forensic expert is all set to examine the fascinating potion concoctions created by Agatha Christie in her famous novels.

Kathryn Harkup is going to be in conversation with director Dom Hastings, from the Scotland International Crime Writing Festival on Sunday, 17th January, 2016.  Other writers hail from countries such as Italy, Israel, Spain, France and the UK along with our very own noted writers from the country.
