First Monday Crime - what do you need to know?

The First Monday May Panel is on 7th May 2019 (yes, I know that's a Tuesday but it's a bank holiday the day before and this is crime fiction after all - you need a twist somewhere apparently). The authors on this killer panel are Vanda Symon (all the way from New Zealand) Chris Carter, Mark Billingham and Deborah O'Connor, moderated by the brilliant Laura Wilson. 

Here's a quick pictorial guide to getting the best out of First Monday Crime:

1. Reserve your seat in advance
Yes, the event is free, but the organisers need to get an idea of numbers.


You can reserve your free seat by clicking here.


2. Check the address
First Monday Crime is in the College Building (Room A130) at City University London.
How do you find it? Here's a map (though you may prefer one that actually zooms!).

City University is slightly nearer Angel Station than Farringdon.


 You need College Building (which is building A on the map above and below).


To retain some mystery, I'll leave you to find Room A130 yourself!

3. Check the start time
First Monday starts at 6.30pm. Best to get there early to get a good seat!


4. Bring money or your credit card!
You'll not only get the opportunity to buy some amazing books but the authors can sign them too. Here are some recent books written by these brilliant authors:




























5. Check the finish time
Actually don't bother. After the panel, everyone heads to the pub so you can stay as long as you like (until closing time).
