About this Event

Every story begins with a contract: the storyteller promises the reader a tale worth telling and the reader agrees to listen. A story without an ending is no story at all.

In August 1997, Jeremy Craddock is a young newspaper reporter in the Lake District. When divers discover a suspicious package weighed down in Coniston Water, he is thrust into the heart of the biggest story of his career.

The Lady in the Lake is a real-life M**der mystery and true crime memoir that reads like a thriller.

With new interviews, Craddock pens the final chapter of this haunting M**der mystery.

Meet Jeremy Craddock who is a journalist and author and teaches journalism at Manchester Metropolitan University. He began his career as a reporter at the Westmorland Gazette in the Lake District and covered the Lady in the Lake case in the 1990s, including Carol Park’s inquest in 1998. He is the author of The Jigsaw Murders: The True Story of the Ruxton Killings and the Birth of Modern Forensics, which was longlisted for the 2022 Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction.
