Bloody Strong Tea starring Louise Candlish, Shari Lapena & Liz Nugent

Hosted by Shelley Youngblut

Oh, what a collection we’ve assembled to wake you up. There’s English Breakfast Tea, personified by Louise Candlish, whose stylish thrillers have rocketed her to the top of the British charts, alongside Lisa Jewell and Ruth Ware. Or do you prefer Red Rose, in the always satisfying form of perennial bestseller Shari Lapena. And if you have a taste for psychological chillers, with disturbingly charming protagonists à la Patricia Highsmith, we recommend Liz Nugent’s confident Irish Breakfast brew. Who knows what delicious crumpets they’ll be compelled to spill?

Brewed Tea has been generously donated by our official Festival Caffeine Sponsor, Barrow Coffee Roasters. Look for the Barrow Bike Caffeine Station (Memorial Park Library, 2nd floor) to fill your cup before the event!
