Domestic Noir with Lisa Jewell and Louise Candlish

If you enjoyed Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies or Louise Doughty’s recent Platform Seven, then you are already a fan of domestic noir. This sub-genre of crime fiction was defined by the writer Julia Crouch as, rather thrillingly, having “as its base a broadly feminist view that the domestic sphere is a challenging and sometimes dangerous prospect for its inhabitants”. Novels in this category usually take place in the home and workplaces and they often focus on the female experience.

I’ll be discussing domestic noir with Lisa Jewell and Louise Candlish, alongside their brilliant new novels The Family Upstairs and Those People, over wine at Dulwich Books on Tuesday 1st October from 7pm. Tickets are still available via the link below. Join us!
