What's behind the enduring popularity of the 'locked room' mystery? Agatha Christie was without question the queen of the genre, but they remain a mainstay of crime publishing. Our guest this week, Heather Fitt has published two modern takes on the locked room mystery, setting her novels on an airliner and a transatlantic yacht respectively. So what's the secret to writing a successful one? In this great interview, Heather shares her journey from managing car mechanics to literary editor and crime author.
Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca discuss the trend for big name authors to skip the festival circuit and stage their own theatre talks/book signings, and we relay the heartwarming story of how one Hobeck author has inspired a wonderful friendship between two of his fans.
