My eye-opening talk involves the audience in a step-by-step investigation of a fictional murder, where everyone can become an armchair detective. I use a PowerPoint slideshow on a memory stick for use with an inhouse projector. My talk lasts around 60 minutes to leave time for questions from the audience.

After a long and decorated career in the police service, I now advise authors and production companies on crime procedurals and appeared as the law-enforcement expert on Killer in My Village on Sky TV. I worked for vice, robbery and drugs squads before becoming the first female West Yorkshire Police murder squad detective – then rose through the ranks to become a Detective Superintendent.
