About And Then There Were Clues...

Can you solve the murder? Be inspired by Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime, with mortician Carla Valentine. Then, take part in a murder mystery with author Antony Johnston.

To mark 50 years since Agatha Christie’s death, celebrate the stories that have cemented her as the bestselling novelist of all time and uncloak the fascinating science that weaves through her work – from fingerprints and firearms to handwriting, blood spatter analysis, toxicology and more.

Following this, Antony guides you through an interactive whodunnit, where you take on the role of sleuth. Crack the case by examining clues, questioning suspects and piecing together evidence.

Ticket includes a ‘killer’ cocktail or mocktail created by The Alchemist.

There will be a book signing after this event.

Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Science Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
