Event Information
A body in a lake. A wife missing for 21 years. A husband’s denial of murder.
Jeremy Craddock, once a reporter with The Westmorland Gazette will talk about this well known crime, the subject of his newly released book.
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 murder mystery and true crime memoir that reads like a thriller. With new interviews, Craddock pens the final chapter of this haunting murder mystery. This is the true story of the Lady in the Lake murder case that shocked the world.
Jeremy Craddock will feature on Sky TV’s Forensics: Catching The Killer with an author interview in December 2024
