The best crime fiction podcast out there. Paul thoroughly reads the books he features and is a top-notch host. Love this show!
I really enjoy listening to this podcast. It has introduced me to so many writers that I had previously no knowledge. It is fascinating to hear how each author approaches writing, and the challenges they sometimes face. However, it is costing me a fortune as I add their books to my ever-growing crime library!
I have just listened to Imran Mahamood and Steve Cavanagh. It was really interesting to think of the courtroom being a bit like a theatre putting on a play. The whole interview was really interesting and live both of these writers, the characters the plots always have you gripped, as well as yours too Victoria. I will be scrolling back now and listening to more of some of the great writers who don't always get the recognition they should have. Thank you for an interesting podcast.
This is an absolutely excellent podcast for crime fiction lovers. There are a number of different shows from one on one interviews, film reviews and discussions between some really big names.
The hosts are all brilliant bringing the right amount of humour and banter to the episodes.
Enetrtaining and engaging, HIGHLY recommended!
