Hello,
I’m Melissa
I’m a Librarian with an Agatha Christie obsession. You’ll often find me with my nose in a book. My areas of interest for my research and writing include: the history of crime and policing, true crime & crime writing, Victorian era literature, British history, folk and fairy tales, children’s literature, local and family history, special collections, libraries, and oral histories.
I’m currently based in Melbourne, Australia, but spent 14 years living in Edinburgh, Scotland, which I consider my true home.
