Explore the intriguing world of British mystery
and crime writing with Program Leader
Kathy Ackley, Professor Emerita of English,
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

In London, listen to British mystery and crime writers talk about their craft, enjoy an evening at the theatre with the group, and immerse yourself in the city of Sherlock Holmes, gaslit alleys, and cobbled streets in your leisure time.

In Oxford, spend an afternoon on your own and then listen to and mingle with British mystery and crime writers for an entire weekend.

This is a rare opportunity to meet, talk to, and find out more about British mystery and crime writers.

Professor Kathy Ackley taught literature and composition at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point for 24 years before her retirement in 2002. She twice led UWSP’s Semester Abroad program in London, and this will be her ninth summer Mystery and Crime Writers program there. She has made more than a dozen other trips to England.
