We were delighted to welcome Smithdown Litfest patron Margaret Murphy back to the festival. In 2024 she launched her latest novel, Blood Debt, written under the pen name MK Murphy. Margaret was interviewed by fellow crime writer Daniel Sellers.

An enjoyable evening was had by audience and speakers alike in the lovely surroundings of Toxteth Library.
