Join us for a scintillating evening discussing all things golden-age of crime writing. Tom Mead is the author of the Golden Age-inspired Joseph Spector locked-room mystery series, soon to be adapted for the screen and will join us to discuss not only his books, which play delightful homage to his favourite authors from the golden-age, but his long held fascination with crime detection writing from the evocative period between the world wars. His enthusiasm is contagious and you will soon find yourself immersed in the world of authors such as Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr; learn about their inspiration and how their works have shaped others’ writing, including Tom’s. Tom is a particular aficionado of the sub-genre of locked room mysteries, a fact which is evident from his debut novel Death and the Conjuror, which pays a witty tribute to them. Tom will be signing copies of his books after the event.
