Crime Reading Month BookTrail style

  • Submitted: 1st June 2026

Crime Reading Month

Today marks the very special month of June that heralds the time of year we all celebrate the great crime fiction of the world. This is the month to focus on all things illegal, criminal and dark – in the literary sense only mind you!

Crime Reading Month

The Crime Writers Association works with the Reading Agency to really bring the joy of reading crime together and host a series of events online and in person to help celebrate the great crime writing community we all know and love.

Check here for the list of events organised for Crime Reading Month

In the middle of this special month is the Capital Crime Festival (for which TheBookTrail is one of the CC Crew helping to spread the word even more!) A great line up this year and some cracking reads to get stuck into!
