At the next Secret Science Club Online, we dive into poison, Agatha Christie's murder mysteries, chemical science and true crime. Jumping off from her new book V is for Venom: Agatha Christie’s Chemicals of Death, chemist-turned-author Kathryn Harkup investigates the science behind deadly substances, the history of their use in real-life murder cases, and how feasible it was to administer and detect these poisons in Christie's time and today.

The Queen of Crime, Christie perfected the use of poisons in her plots. But why are some compounds so lethal, and in such tiny amounts? Come explore all things poison with us on Sunday. It would be a crime to miss it!

Kathryn Harkup is a chemist turned author. She writes on the crossover between science, literature, and pop culture. Her first book was the international best-seller A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie, which was shortlisted for a Mystery Readers International Macavity Award and a BMA Book Award. Her subsequent books include V is for Venom, Making the Monster: The Science of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and Death by Shakespeare.
