Agatha Christie and The Man in the Brown Suit

with Dr Jamie Bernthal-Hooker. Plus guided tour of Kents Cavern by James Hull and a glass of prosecco or orange juice.


Christie expert Jamie Bernthal-Hooker’s talk takes places inside the atmospheric prehistoric caves that form Kents Cavern in Torquay. Partly inspired by her Grand Tour, The Man in the Brown Suit was written in Agatha Christie’s flat in London in 1924 with Agatha Christie evoking exotic African landscapes from memory. Kents Cavern plays a role in the novel as Hampsley Cavern.

Tickets including talk, tour and a glass of prosecco/soft drink.
