Carla Valentine: Agatha Christie: Forensic Detective
Event WebsiteCarla Valentine is a qualified mortuary technician, curator of Barts Pathology Museum and author of Past Mortems and Murder Isn’t Easy. She’s also the host of a BBC Sounds podcast called Mortem, and has appeared in several documentaries about Agatha Christie.
She is passionate about Agatha, the history of forensic science and inter-war true crime. In this illustrated talk she will explore the burgeoning science of forensics (including blood spatter, autopsy, fingerprints and toxicology) through the lens of Christie’s works, as well as the true crimes which inspired her, and her real-life ‘investigating’ as part of The Detection Club.
