MISTRESS OF MURDER Agatha Christie and the Development of Forensic Science with Carla Valentine Saturday 16th October 2021 at 1:30 pm While other children were devouring the works of Enid Blyton and Beatrix Potter, Carla Valentine was poring over the pages of Agatha Christie novels. Nearly every one of these stories involves one - or, more commonly, several - dead bodies, and for a young Carla, a curious child already captivated with biology, these stories and these bodies were perfect puzzles. Carla Valentine Carla Valentine is a writer, broadcaster and Senior Anatomical Pathology Technologist (Mortuary Technician or ‘Mortician’). She is currently the Technical Curator of a QMUL’s pathology museum, restoring the 5000 anatomical specimens to their former glory and teasing stories from the dead in a different way.

Carla's book 'Murder Isn't Easy: The Forensics of Agatha Christie' is out on October 21st and is available to pre-order. Her first book, 'Past Mortems' is available from all good book stores. |
