Meet the creators of some of our most popular crime fiction series.
Elly Griffiths’s Dr Ruth Galloway novels, featuring a forensic archaeologist, are set in Norfolk. The series won the prestigious CWA Dagger In The Library award in 2016 and has been shortlisted three times for the Theakston’s Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year. Elly’s Stephens and Mephisto novels are based in 1950/60s Brighton, and she has recently published a contemporary Gothic thriller, The Stranger Diaries.
Nicola Upson’s ‘Josephine Tey’ novels have been praised as ‘historical crime fiction at its very best’ (Sunday Times). Set in the 1930s, they weave original murder mysteries around a celebration of Tey’s life and work, bridging the Golden Age and the contemporary. The latest, Nine Lessons, was shortlisted for the 2018 CWA Historical Dagger and was a Publisher’s Weekly Best Mystery of 2017.
The conversation will be chaired by Catherine Larner.
