Program Description
Event Details
The five greatest women crime writers have banded together to form a secret society. Led by the formidable Dorothy L. Sayers, the group includes Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham, and Baroness Emma Orczy. Their plan is to solve an actual murder, that of a young women found strangled in a park in France who may have connections leading to the highest levels of the British establishment.
Inspired by a true story in Sayers' own life, New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict brings to life the lengths to which five talented women writers will go to be taken seriously in the male-dominated world of letters as they unpuzzle a mystery torn from the pages of their own novels.
Join us for a discussion of The Queens of Crime by Marie Benedict.
Registration is requested.
