Novelists *Sarah Brooks *and *Elizabeth Macneal *share their approaches to writing gripping mystery novels with historical settings. Brooks’s *The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands *is a breathtaking historical fantasy set onboard the Great Trans-Siberian Express during the golden age of steam. As the secrets of the train’s curious cast of characters begin to unravel, something uncontrollable threatens to break in. Macneal’s *The Burial Plot *is a bewitching gothic thriller set in 1830s London. It follows tricksters Crawford and Bonnie, who survive on wicked schemes and ill-gotten coin. After their fortunes flip, murder, manipulation and secrets ensue. This event has a limited number of bursary tickets available for people who might not otherwise be able to afford them.
