Great pleasure to do this with John Miller. Plus a good excuse to read Roger Ackroyd for the 500th time…. still as enjoyable as ever!

Lovely to chat with Sam Leith about Nancy Mitford and The Pursuit of Love, published 75 years ago last December

 

Lovely to have this reissued… thanks to Head of Zeus, not least for the very delicious new cover

This was such fun to do…

Rob Rinder chose Jessica Mitford (me as ‘expert’). Total joy to talk Mitfords with Rob and Matthew Parris, produced by the very lovely Nicola Humphries

Agatha Christie: 100 Years of Poirot and Miss Marple was shown on C5 on October 10 at 8:30pm – still available to watch! – and is also on Britbox in the US.

I was a contributor talking about Agatha’s ten best books. Filmed it at home at the height of summer. Really enjoyable to do.

A labour of love essay from me about the great Agatha. Also had the huge pleasure of discussing it on the TLS podcast with Thea Lenarduzzi and Lucy Dallas
