From Sherlock Holmes to hamsters and from Agatha Christie to moustaches: Alexander Thorpe and Dave Warner chat all things crime on the Fremantle Press Podcast

Show Notes

In Rebecca Higgie’s penultimate episode as host of the Fremantle Press Podcast, we’re talking crime. Veteran crime writer Dave Warner joins the podcast to talk about his fifth book, Over My Dead Body, while new kid on the block Alexander Thorpe discusses his historical cosy crime debut, Death Leaves the Station.

Join them as they travel from the 1920s and the Australian outback all the way to the mean streets of modern-day New York City. Sharing the journey will be a nameless friar, a missing corpse, a scientist who brings hamsters back from the dead and none other than Sherlock Holmes.
