Special Episode: The Thursday Murder Club's Richard Osman (The Book Cellar x City Winery)
Hi there. Well, I loved this conversation with Richard Osman. The author of "The Thursday Murder Club Mystery" series, including the latest one, "The Impossible Fortune," was as funny and as warm as his books. We also talked about his pre-author days as a quiz show (using the UK term out of respect) creator/producer/host in England. Big thanks to The Book Cellar for inviting me to moderate, City Winery for their hospitality, the great audience and Pamela Dorman Books/Viking. I highly recommend these books! And that you share this podcast episode. Happy holidays!
