Lesley McDowell’s Love and Other Poisons features a scandalous affair, an unsolved murder, and the disappearance of the socialite who stands accused. Mairi Kidd’s The Specimens reinvents the story of notorious serial killers Burke and Hare, told through the eyes of two very different women. Join the authors for a romp through 19th century Scotland as they discuss the craft of compelling character studies and inventing voices for women lost to time. Chaired by Jemma Neville.
