From a longlist of 18 books and authors, organizers of the annual Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival have now pared their choices down to a shortlist of only half a dozen contenders for the 2017 Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year award:

Lie With Me, by Sabine Durrant (Mulholland)
Out of Bounds, by Val McDermid (Little, Brown)
Black Widow, by Chris Brookmyre (Little, Brown)
After You Die, by Eva Dolan (Harvill Secker)
Real Tigers, by Mick Herron (John Murray)
Missing, Presumed, by Susie Steiner (Borough Press)

The winner is set to be announced on July 20, during the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate, England.
