I mostly write about historical crime, Victorian detectives and the history of CSI and forensic science. I have a PhD in history and my thesis was on the evolution of Victorian and Edwardian police detective practice. I have published four books, with the next one due for publication this year.
I am a regular contributor to national magazines, radio, podcasts and TV. I’m an associate lecturer at Oxford Brookes University.
