Ngaio Marsh and the Science of Murder

2014 NGAIO MARSH MEMORIAL LECTURE

    
VANDA SYMON – NGAIO MARSH AND THE SCIENCE OF MURDER
SUNDAY 13 APRIL  5-6PM
CHRIST’S COLLEGE OLD BOYS’ THEATRE
TICKETS: $25 from PHILIPPA BATES – PHONE (03) 358 8763

VANDA SYMON  is the author of the Detective Sam Shephard crime series and the standalone psychological thriller, THE FACELESS. She has been a three times finalist in the Ngaio Marsh Award for Crime Novel and currently a PhD candidate at the University of Otago, researching the communication of science through crime fiction, using examples from the work of Ngaio Marsh.

I've spoken to Vanda several times about her studies into Ngaio Marsh's work, and I know that with the passion and interest she has in the subject, this will be a fascinating memorial lecture this year. I'd highly recommend anyone in the area who loves books, crime fiction, or just interesting topics, gets along and has a listen.
