LJ Ross

We're so excited to welcome the International, multi-million copy selling, crime author LJ Ross to the festival.

Louise's debut, Holy Island, introducing DCI Ryan, was released in 2015 and became an instant, international bestseller. Since then, more than thirty of her novels have gone on to take the coveted No.1 spot, some even before general release and whilst only available to ‘pre-order’. The Bookseller magazine has reported on Louise having topped the ‘Most Read’ and ‘Most Sold’ fiction charts, and she has garnered an army of loyal fans who love her atmospheric and addictive storytelling.

In May 2021, Louise was shortlisted for the prestigious Crime Writers’ Association ‘Dagger in the Library’ award, which recognises an author’s entire body of work having been consistently enjoyed by library borrowers around the United Kingdom, and an author’s longstanding support of libraries. She was shortlisted again in 2024. Louise has also created the Dr Alexander Gregory thrillers, the Summer Suspense series and the much-anticipated DCI Ryan: The Met Years which will be coming soon.

This event will take place in Wheeldon Suites 2 & 3.
