Topic: Detective fiction writing: The UK Connect

Agatha Christie was one of the pioneers of detective fiction writing with mass appeal. In our first book club event, we aim to bring detective fiction into the spotlight with Pune writer Manjiri Prabhu. How are characters developed, the nuts and bolts of writing with examples of other UK pioneers such as Enid Blyton, Ronald Dahl and even the awesome Jane Austen!
