Book NowAbout the show
Carnation Productions presents this in-conversation with crime writer Chris Brookmyre and Dr Marisa Haetzman at Stand 3. Brookmyre debuted with Quite Ugly One Morning in 1996 and has since published over thirty novels, winning prizes including the McIlvanney Prize and Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year. His work spans television, theatre, radio and videogames. Dr Haetzman, a consultant anaesthetist for two decades, later specialised in medical history, researching James Young Simpson and the discovery of chloroform. Together, as Ambrose Parry, they write bestselling historical crime novels including The Way of All Flesh and the latest, The Death of Shame. Running 60 minutes and suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Two fascinating careers converge: a crime novelist with over thirty books to his name and a medical historian turned co-author. Their joint venture as Ambrose Parry makes this an unusually rich in-conversation for anyone who loves historical crime fiction.
