Join us at Middle Temple Library on Wednesday 04 June for an ‘in conversation’ event with Thomas Grant KC and Kate Summerscale, to discuss her new book, The Peepshow, an examination of the notorious murders committed at 10 Rillington Place in the 1940s and 1950s. It was a 2024 book of the year and has been longlisted for the 2025 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction. Kate Summerscale is the award-winning author of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher and The Haunting of Alma Fielding amongst other works. Thomas Grant KC practises at the commercial chancery Bar, has written extensively about the law, and is a Bencher of Middle Temple.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase, and be signed by the author. Join us for drinks in the Garden Room after the event, starting at 7:15pm.
