Sarah Bax Horton: Arm of Eve – Investigating the Thames Torso Murders

Sarah Bax Horton : GUEST SPEAKER EVENT We are delighted to welcome award-winning local author and researcher Sarah Bax Horton to the Club for an intriguing evening exploring one of Victorian London's most chilling unsolved mysteries. While Jack the Ripper remains the most famous unidentified killer of the nineteenth century, another serial murderer stalked London before him. Known as the Thames Torso Killer, this elusive figure murdered and dismembered at least four victims between 1887 and 1889, leaving investigators baffled and the public horrified. Drawing on the research behind her acclaimed book Arm of Eve: Investigating the Thames Torso Murders , Sarah will discuss how she applied modern criminal profiling techniques to a Victorian cold case, leading her to identify a compelling suspect — a known criminal with intimate knowledge of the River Thames and its waterways. The talk will also include fascinating behind-the-scenes insights into Sarah's involvement in the BBC documentary series Lucy Worsley's Victorian Murder Club , which recently brought renewed attention to the case. Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for questions before a book signing and an informal Club Supper with the speaker. Tickets Members: £15 Guests: £20 Tickets include a glass of wine on arrival . A two-course Club Supper will be available after the talk for £22.50 per person .

Louisa Treger: A Fatal Love – Ruth Ellis, Justice and the Stories We Tell

Louisa Treger : GUEST SPEAKER EVENT We are delighted to welcome acclaimed novelist and biographical fiction writer Louisa Treger to the Club for what promises to be a fascinating and thought-provoking evening. Louisa will discuss her latest novel, A Fatal Love , based on the life of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in Britain. While Ellis's story has often been reduced to a sensational crime, Treger's novel seeks to uncover the coercion, violence and abuse that lay behind the headlines. In this engaging talk, Louisa will explore the research and inspiration behind the book, her feminist reimagining of Ellis's life, and the enduring questions it raises about justice, domestic abuse and the treatment of women by the legal system. Seventy years after Ruth Ellis's execution, her family's campaign for a posthumous pardon has once again brought her story into the public eye, making this discussion particularly timely. Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for questions before members and guests are invited to join Louisa for an informal Club Supper. Tickets Members: £15 Guests: £20 Tickets include a glass of wine on arrival . A two-course Club Supper will be available after the talk for £22.50 per person . About the Speaker Louisa Treger is the critically acclaimed author of four novels: The Lodger , The Dragon Lady , Madwoman and The Paris Muse .
