Bee Rowlatt: "One Woman Crime Wave" 12th Feb 2025

What is your babysitter doing when you’re not there? 

One Woman Crime Wave examines the limits of what money can buy, and how easily the fragile web of middle-class privilege can be torn.

Writer and broadcaster Bee Rowlatt will talk about her new novel set in Kentish Town and inspired by An Inspector Calls.

Bee will be in conversation with Poppy Sebag-Montefiore.

Liz Nugent: “A fantastic novel about fractured families, class and the politics of parenting. Beautifully written and very moving.”

Reeta Chakrabarti: ‘A great page-turner, I found myself rushing to the Tube to read it!’

Wednesday 12th Feburary in Keats Community Library

Tickets are £12 from the Library and on line from Wegottickets.com - Link HERE
