If you’re an academic with an interest in 19th-century crime (& who could fail to be interested in Victorian criminals?) please, please do come to our Conference in August. 🕵️ Give a paper, have a Janetta’s ice cream, paddle in the sea. PhD Students go free. 🍦 😃 Do repost!
If you are passionate about women, crime, and all things #Victorian, send us your abstracts by 30 April. St Andrews is gorgeous in August #femaledetectives #globalVictorians #crimefiction
