After a week of activities the festival is now in its final few days.

Tomorrow (June 8) will see two top crime fiction writers, William Shaw and PD Viner and best-selling true crime writer and former chief superintendent, Graham Bartlett at Writing a Murderer, for a discussion on how they get into the heads of the bad guys and describe the horror.

The event is being held at Burgess Hill Library at 7pm.
