In the fitting setting of the Abingdon Arms, Oxford author and academic Anna Beer will be exploring what exactly delights us in crime fiction (especially ‘cosy crime’) and asking just why there are, and have been, so many murder mysteries set in Oxford.

Anna has been thinking a lot about these matters, because after many years of writing non-fiction, for specialists and non-specialist readers, she has just published her first murder mystery. And it’s set in Oxford (and a village nearby…)

This talk will be given in the pub and not recorded.
