Books to Die For with John Connolly, Laura Wilson and Martyn Waites

Why is there no end to our appetite for books that tie our brains in knots with their twisting plots, make our pulses race and turn our stomachs with their grisly descriptions? Shedding light on our eternal fascination with the darker side of life is John Connolly, creator of the Charlie Parker books and co-editor of Books to Die For, a new anthology of crime writing, chosen by crime writers.

Joining John tonight to dissect and discuss the best in crime fiction: Laura Wilson, award-winning author of A Willing Victim, and crime reviewer for the Guardian; Meg Gardiner author of The Liar's Lullaby, Natasha Cooper author of Vengeance in Mind, shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger; and Martyn Waites, who writes as Tania Carver.
