Kate Summerscale | The Peepshow | 5x15

5x15 is back at The Tabernacle in October with a fantastic line-up of speakers. Join us for an evening of gripping stories about human rights and trailblazing lives; the murky, intoxicating world of finance, the moving journey of a rescue dog from Romania, and one of the most notorious murder cases of the twentieth century...

Kate Summerscale was working on the obituaries desk at the Daily Telegraph when she came across the inspiration for her first book. She later went on to develop a ground-breaking new form of narrative non-fiction writing which culminated in her number-one bestselling The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction 2008 and later adapted into an ITV drama starring Peter Capaldi. She began writing her new book The Peepshow in the spring of 2021, soon after the abduction and murder of Sarah Everard. She hoped that a case from the past might help her understand why a man might choose to kill women – and why we are so fascinated by such stories. Summerscale has published five previous books with Bloomsbury. To date her books have sold more than 600,000 copies in the UK. (Photo Credit: Robin Christian)
