Edinburgh Book Fringe 2025: Lucy Ribchester & Richard Strachan

In conversation with Edinburgh historical novelists Lucy Ribchester & Richard Strachan.

Join me for a FREE event at Argonaut Books as part of the 2025 Edinburgh Book Fringe.

In Murder Ballad, Lucy Ribchester conjures all the taste, smells, sex and venom of Edinburgh’s musical society of the 1790s. What does it take for a woman’s desires and talent to be heard.

In The Unrecovered, Richard Strachan locates us at the tail end of WW1 inside the gloomy fortress of Gallondean on the wild West Lothian coast. Does terror lie embedded in the landscape, or are the demons within.

Tickets are FREE and include a drink.
