We can now announce two more speakers confirmed for this year’s Bodies From The Library conference. We are delighted to welcome back both Jim Noy and Tom Mead who have spoken at past conferences on a diverse range of topics including obscure locked room mysteries, impossible crimes, fair-play clueing and Enid Blyton (a mystery writer not to be overlooked).

Tom Mead

Tom Mead is a Derbyshire mystery writer and aficionado of Golden Age Crime Fiction. His novels include Death and the Conjuror, The Murder Wheel, Cabaret Macabre and The House at Devil’s Neck. He also recently published a collection of mystery stories, The Indian Rope Trick (and Other Violent Entertainments). His books have been translated into twelve languages (and counting), nominated for various awards and named books of the year by The Guardian, The Telegraph, Publishers Weekly and Crimereads.

Jim Noy

Jim Noy has a particular enthusiasm for the golden age detection of the 1920 to the 1950s, especially locked room mysteries and impossible crimes. He blogs at The Invisible Event, where he also publishes the infuriatingly occasional In GAD We Trust podcast.
