Also about Agatha Christie at Felixstowe on 27th June

New issue is out. Contains my long feature about my old home, Newmarket – plus mentions of my beloved retired racehorse, After The Show

Such a pleasure to talk to Eric Metaxas about the Mitfords…

This is me talking about the 1922 Thompson-Bywaters case, subject of my book A Tale of Two Murders (US title of Rex v Edith Thompson). Erik Rivenes hosts this fascinating and very popular podcast.

The i has a lovely long extract from my book The Last Landlady… my memories of Christmas and the New Year at my grandmother’s pub. Riotous, is what I chiefly remember.

Thank you SO much for this fabulous coverage.

Sentence of the year award goes to Lara Thompson in @TheTLS “They were articulate vagabonds, good- humoured yet with an edge of social danger, gallant Cnuts in the face of the millennial tide.” https://t.co/erEgFTgakW
