A website has been created to celebrate Kirkcudbright’s developing links with crime writing, which stretch back to the 1931 novel Five Red Herrings, written by legendary crime author Dorothy L Sayers, in which her investigator Lord Peter Wimsey investigated the murder of a local artist.
The town in South West Scotland has a track record for continuing to promote crime writing and the site will build into a guide to crime writing events in Kirkcudbright and the wider Dumfries and Galloway.
The website, which has been created by Chris Walker, owner of the Selkirk Arms in the town, and local crime novelists Ian Robinson and John Dean, can be found at at www.kirkcudbrightcrimewriting.com
