Why do women make the most prolific crime writers? Are women too often portrayed as victims within the genre? We’ve invited Sophie Hannah and Val McDermid to bring an eloquent and expert perspective to a discussion on gender roles in crime fiction, female protagonists (on either side of the law) and the ongoing debate about women as authors and originators of crime fiction. Val McDermid is one of Britain’s leading crime writers with numerous awards to her name. Her latest book is Trick of the Dark. Sophie Hannah is a leading psychological crime writer and also an acclaimed poet. Her latest bestseller is A Room Swept White.
