"V is for Venom: Agatha Christie's Chemicals of Death" with Author Dr. Kathryn Harkup
Wednesday, July 30 | 2:00 PM (Virtual)
The follow up to Kathryn Harkup's best-selling A is for Arsenic, V is for Venom is a compelling exploration of Christie's use of poisons and her extensive chemical knowledge. Featuring fourteen more poisons from the works of Agatha Christie, this book investigates the science behind the deadly substances, the history of their use in real-life murder cases, and how feasible was it to obtain, administer and detect these poisons in Christie's time and today. Combining Christie's murder mysteries, chemical science and true crime, V is for Venom is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.

In Conversation with Author and Historian Philippa Langley
Thursday, August 7 | 2:00 PM (Virtual)
Join us as author and historical sleuth, Philippa Langley, discusses The King Richard III Project, her research methods, her team, her findings, and how solving this mystery affects our understanding of the royal monarchy (in the 1500s, of course). In 2012, Philippa led the search for Richard III in a car park in Leicester through her original Looking For Richard Project. The king was uncovered in the northern end of the car park, right where Philippa's research, and an intuition, said it would be. In 2013 she co-authored The King’s Grave: The Search for Richard III with military historian Michael Jones which tells Philippa’s remarkable story in search of the king and his fifteenth-century life and death.
