On the occasion of her 80th birthday, iconic international bestseller Donna Leon joins us live via video link up from her home in Switzerland to chat with Bloody Scotland founder, Alex Gray.
It was thirty years ago, in July 1992, that detective Guidi Brunetti made his first appearance in Leon’s debut novel Death at La Fenice. Since then, there has been a book a year in the much-loved series set amongst the surreal splendour of Venice. The books have been translated into 35 languages and won numerous awards in various countries. These are beautifully written novels, filled with elegant, witty prose and a searing humanity.
Join us to hear a legend of crime fiction talk about her extraordinary life in books.

At its best, the serial killer novel isn’t a relentless collection of victims but rather a deep dive into the psychology of the multiple murderer.
Meet three authors with a handle on how to do it right. Alice Hunter’s The Serial Killer’s Daughter asks whether murder is in the blood as Alice, daughter of a prolific murderer, questions all she knows about herself. In the chilling Under the Marsh by GR Halliday, a hand-drawn map of desolate land near Inverness offers up the deadliest of secrets. Victoria Selman’s absorbing Truly, Darkly, Deeply delves into the complex relationship between a serial killer, a young woman, and the search for the truth.
This event will be chaired by author and Clinical Psychologist, Dr Chris Merritt.

Meet three writers who are at the beating heart of the medical thriller renaissance and are guaranteed to make your pulse race.
In Simon Stephenson’s harrowing Sometimes People Die, a young Scottish doctor becomes aware of a slew of deaths in an overworked and underfunded east London hospital. Do No Harm, the blockbuster from Jack Jordan, sees a skilled surgeon facing a nightmare choice – to break her most sacred oath by taking a life or to lose her kidnapped son. Eve Smith’s dystopian medical thriller Off Target is set in a near future world where genetic engineering has become the norm and the search for the perfect baby has horrific consequences.
The event will be chaired by Dr Liam Bell.
