In Conversation with Sam Holland and H. Critchlow
This event is hosted The Imaginarium and sponsored by Scott Bailey LLP.
Join Sam Holland (aka Louisa Scarr) and Heather Critchlow as they spend an evening in conversation talking all things crime fiction.
Sam Hollandexploded onto the crime thriller world in 2022 with her debut novel, The Echo Man, shocking and enthralling readers and reviewers alike with its sinister depiction of a serial killer copying notorious real-life murderers of the past. Her books have been published in 15 countries worldwide, including the US, Germany and the Netherlands, where she became the first author to win the Bronze Bat for her debut and the Silver Bat for best thriller in consecutive years at the Nederlands Thrillerfestival.
She also writes as Louisa Scarr, and is the author of the Butler and West police crime thrillers, beginning with Last Place You Look and ending with Out of the Ashes. A new series, about a police dog handler, launched in July 2024 with Gallows Wood. Book two, Memorial Park, is out now and will be followed by Broken House in October.
Heather Critchlow grew up in rural Aberdeenshire and trained as a business journalist after studying history and social science at Cambridge university. Published by Canelo in May 2023, her debut novel Unsolved was shortlisted for the Bloody Scotland Debut Prize and is the first in a series about true crime podcaster Cal Lovett.
Unburied was published in January 2024. It was followed by Unsound in September 2024 and a further two books in the Cal Lovett series are planned. Heather’s first speculative crime thriller The Tomorrow Project will be out in hardback in May 2025.
Heather’s short stories are featured in Afraid of the Light, Afraid of the Christmas Lights and Afraid of the Shadows, collections of fiction written by crime writers for charity. She lives in Hertfordshire.

World Book Day 2025
Grab your WORLD BOOK DAY book in store!
World Book Day is a charity that champion’s the fun of reading, because it seriously improves lives. Reading for fun is the single biggest indicator that a child will grow up to enjoy a happier and more successful life – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational backgrounds or their income.
But here’s the challenge, it’s at an all-time low, with only 1 in 3 children now saying they enjoy reading. We believe children are more likely to read if they enjoy it, so we’re on a mission to encourage them to see reading as an entertaining, social and fun thing to do. We want more children to grow up with a life-long, life-changing habit of reading for fun, and all the benefits this brings.
World Book Day are a charity that operates in the UK and Ireland and will next be celebrating World Book Day on 6 March 2025.
Your littles ones will receive a voucher from their school if they’re in educational settings, or if they are home educated, you can register for vouchers here
We will be accepting vouchers until Sunday 23rd March. Alternatively, you can purchase the World Book Day books for £1 each.
