Listen with Lindsey, November

10th November, 2026, 7.00 pm UK time

A Zoom event for gentle relaxation. Reading aloud for an hour, next book yet to be Desperate Undertakings.

Readings are recorded, but participants are not shown or named. Register if you haven’t done so already at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BZ3p7A-dSxilGBVeLFjE-w

A meeting link and reminder will be sent to you, then you can join all readings until the end of this year. A link for recordings will appear here and on my Facebook page shortly after each reading.

Please note: Recordings last for 30 days and are then replaced by the following month’s. I see these as ephemeral. They are not good enough quality to be kept and there are copyright reasons for not doing so.

The link to the October recording from Time to Depart is: https://zoom.us/recording/detail?meeting_id=97pZIAmdQd6pD%2B3T%2B%2F0xgg%3D%3D

There Will Be Bodies: A Flavia Albia Journey to the Bay of Naples

20th March, 2027

I’m delighted to announce a new tour with Andante Travel in 2027: four days staying at the Medusa Hotel, Stabia, seeing sites that have inspired my work, such as the Roman villas at Stabiae and the Stabiae Museum, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Boscoreale, in company with archaeologist Oliver Gilkes and me.

Andante Travels invites you to the Bay of Naples for a tour with a difference. Travelling with Lindsey Davis and Andante archaeologist Oliver Gilkes, we explore the real sites that inspired bestselling novelist Lindsey Davis’s Flavia Albia mystery, There Will Be Bodies set among the buried villas of Stabiae itself. For those with an appetite for expert-led archaeology, or readers who have followed Falco and Albia through two decades of Roman crime, this tour offers something rare: the chance to stand in the real places behind the stories, with the novelist and the archaeologist beside you to explain what’s true, what’s invented, and where the line between the two gets pleasantly blurred.
