A Conversation with Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger

Oxford has a long history of crime and skullduggery—in the realm of mystery fiction, of course. Is it the twisty streets and impenetrable buildings? Or a natural revolt against the focus of academic endeavour?  Was Sherlock Holmes an undergraduate here? (Where else?) Why did Mary Shelley’s manuscript of Frankenstein end up in the Bodleian? (Again: where else?)

These questions and more will be addressed by Laurie R. King (author of the bestselling series The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, etc., which inflicts adventures on Sherlock Holmes that Arthur Conan Doyle never imagined) and Leslie S. Klinger (author of The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, The New Annotated Frankenstein, etc., and world expert on all manner of crime and horror fiction).
