The Noirwich lecture delivers powerful and pertinent views on the ever dynamic crime writing genre. Previous speakers have included Val McDermid, Megan Abbot, Arne Dahl, Yelena Moskovich and Margot Douaihy.

We are delighted to announce Emma Flint as our guest for the Noirwich Lecture 2024.

 Since childhood, she has been drawn to true-crime stories, developing an encyclopaedic knowledge of real-life murder cases from the early 20th century. Her first novel, Little Deaths, was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, for the Desmond Elliott Prize, for the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger Award, and for The Guardian’s Not the Booker Prize.  

 Other Women was selected as a Zoe Ball BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick.
