I have spoken at the Agatha Christie International Festival in Torquay on Agatha Christie’s London and Poirot’s London. I have delivered talks to a variety of local organisations and groups both on Agatha Christie and London history. To date the most unusual location has been speaking at Brompton Cemetery, in West London, for London Month of the Dead. I have researched and presented papers at various Agatha Christie and Golden Age of Crime Fiction conferences. For a complete list of conference paper titles, please see publications.

I am available for talks about Christie, her life and her writing

Agatha Christie lived, wrote, worked and had her plays staged in the Capital. London is a re-occurring location in her stories. It is where Hercule Poirot, Tommy and Tuppence reside and where Miss Marple goes on holiday. This illustrated talk follows in Agatha’s footsteps to visit her former homes, luxury hotels and other venues that she and her characters frequented, including a special focus on her City of London connections. Join Tina Hodgkinson, author of “Agatha Christie’s London: A Historical Guide to the Queen of Crime’s Capital” to find out more. Free admission. Book via Eventbrite.
