Crime writers Sophie Hannah and Simon Brett debate the respective merits of the dark and twisted new school and the cosy old school of murder mysteries. Brett and Hannah are both regulars at the celebrated Mystery and Crime Weekend held every August at St Hilda’s College, Oxford.

Brett is author of the Charles Paris, Mrs Pargeter and Fethering series of crime novels. His TV and radio writing includes No Commitments and After Henry.  Hannah has written five internationally bestselling psychological thrillers Little Face, Hurting Distance, The Point of Rescue, The Other Half Lives and A Room Swept White.

This event is part of the St Hilda’s College day
