For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to returning guest, the crime writer Denzil Meyrick to hear all about the latest novel in the Inspector Frank Grasby series, The Christmas Stocking Murders.
An appearance by Denzil on the podcast has quickly become a sign that Christmas is on the way, and it was great to catch up with him and hear about what Frank Grasby and friends, and enemies, are up to this time around.
Denzil gives a synopsis of The Christmas Stocking Murders, before talking about returning to 1950s Yorkshire, the appeal of coastal settings, how Frank's world has changed, and what he has learned, since events in the previous novel Murder at Holly House, introducing the memorable character of Superintendent Juggers, and the effect World War II has on everyone who appears in the series.
He also gives updates on all things DCI Daley, which include a new novel and the promised TV series. As always, a chat with Denzil just flies by, and it's always a pleasure to talk crime fiction with one of the best.
And once the conversation is over, keep listening as Denzil's publishers Transworld, Penguin Random House, have kindly allowed us to play a clip from the audiobook of The Christmas Stocking Murders, narrated by Tom Turner.
