About
From cosy crime and police procedural to psychological thriller and true crime, MOTIVE brings together the masters of mystery for criminally good conversations, book signings, workshops and more that will keep you hooked all weekend long.
During June 7–9 at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre, we will explore and celebrate a genre that has inspired some of the world’s most gripping stories from Canada and across the world, including USA, United Kingdom, Finland, Iceland and Korea. Alongside discovering your next best read, you can participate in true crime workshops and hone your own killer writing instincts in our masterclass programme.
Kicking off MOTIVE, there will be a special pre-Festival in conversation with best-selling British author Clare Mackintosh on April 29 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts.
