Ann Cleeves' The Dying Light (2026) and David Baldacci's All In (2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the belated third Sampler Edition we're looking at two samplers for books that aren't out yet, but will be very soon: The Dying Light by Ann Cleeves (released in October 2026) All In by David Baldacci (released November 2026) Although these are two very different samplers one about a murder in a North Devon coastal home, the other about an assassination attempt and kidnapping with possible national security implications, the slight unhappy or uncomfortable central characters gave me lots of s
Joan Aiken's Dido and Pa (1986) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Mal will be looking at 'Dido and Pa' by Joan Aiken, the author of the long running children's series set in an alternative history where the Stuarts are still on the throne and the Hanoverians plot their removal. Most people may know Joan Aiken from her first novel 'The Wolves of Willoughby Chase' (1962) but she had a very successful writing career, and the 'Wolves Chronicles' is only one of the novel series she wrote. With 'Dido and Pa' we'll be looking at how families in one f

Read excerpt
In this first Sampler Edition, Mal will be taking a look at two Samplers she picked up from Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Writing Festival. A sampler is a small taster section from the beginning of a new or upcoming novel. The two we'll be looking at today are: D. V. Bishop's Shadow of Madness (2026) Lin Anderson's The High Island (2026) 'Shadow of Madness' is the sixth in the Cesare Aldo series set in 14th Century Florence.

Nadine Matheson's The Binding Room (2022) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the last episode we were in the capital of Scotland, this time we're heading to London for the second book in the DI Henley series. I'll be taking a look into Nadine Matheson's 'The Binding Room'. This is an author and a series that I discovered when I attended an event at the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival a couple of years ago. Matheson’s description of the series, and what she wanted to do with it, stuck in my head. Now, a couple of years later, I’ve created an episode about the series o
