Join us as we welcome Sophie Hannah to Wallingford. Sophie is an internationally bestselling and award-winning author. In 2023, she won the Crime Writers Association’s Dagger in the Library Award for her body of work.

Sophie will be in conversation with Alison Gomm, discussing her experiences writing the new Poirot series at the request of Agatha Christie’s family and estate; how Agatha has influenced her writing, and how her latest psychological thriller No One Would Do What The Lambert's Have Done, has both Agatha Christie and her pseudonym Mary Westmacott at its very heart.

The event will also include a question and answer session and a book signing.

In 1926, Agatha Christie was at the centre of a mystery when she disappeared for twelve days, sparking one of the biggest hunts in history. She was found in a hotel in Harrogate and said she couldn't remember anything. Did Agatha Christie lie? Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved in this disappearance which was to affect her for the rest of her life?

A one-woman show, starring Liz Grand.
