Andrew Hunter Murray talks to Ava Glass

Bad Deeds - a hilarious new crime thriller

Hay Festival 2026, 

The best-selling writer and Radio 4 host presents his latest novel - a darkly comic and utterly gripping crime caper set in the remote reaches of Scotland. Bad Deeds is a wickedly entertaining murder mystery that takes one not-entirely-innocent action and supersizes the consequences. Hunter Murray talks to author and journalist, Ava Glass to take us inside the process of creating a thriller to keep readers on the edge of their seat, while also making them laugh out loud.
