The List of Suspicious Things, one of the most talked about debut books of 2024, became a Sunday Times top ten bestseller soon after publication and has recently been shortlisted for Debut Fiction Book of the Year, in the British Book Awards. From her dad’s realisation that he knew the Yorkshire Ripper, to a passion for true crime podcasts, author Jennie Godfrey shares the inspiration behind her debut novel, coming to fiction after the age of 50, navigating social class, and the real-life inspiration behind her story of Miv, the twelve-year-old determined to track down the Yorkshire Ripper.
Jennie will be in conversation with bestselling author, Veronica Henry.
