Episode 365 - Death by Misadventure in Elizabethan England with Dr Jane Bitomsky

Host Natalie Grueninger interviews Dr Jane Bitomsky about her debut historical mystery, 'Death by Misadventure', and her PhD research into pregnancy and crime in early modern England.

They discuss the real-life coroner John Derrick, researching Bramley in the 1580s, sources and surprises from the archives (from medicinal mouldy bread to colourful euphemisms), and the challenges of writing accurate yet readable historical fiction.
