From 12.00 noon BST
At Goldster Book Club
Linda Stratmann is a historical mystery writer with a string of titles of true crime and fictional crime and her latest is set in 1872 Brighton and called the Cyanide Ghost with a feisty, intrepid investigator Mini Scarletti. The sixth in the series. Her non-fiction work reads like a chronicle of Inspector Morse meets Bergerac with the Gloucestershire Murders, the Essex Murders, the Kent murders and accounts of crooks, fraudsters and charlatans. Linda has just been commissioned to write a new series of novels concentrating on the little known period before Sherlock Holmes met Dr Watson. How did the great detective function? And there’s more. Until a couple of months ago, Linda was chair of the Crime Writers’ Association which embraces everything from Peter James to Conan Doyle to Frederick Forsyth and which hosts the world famous Dagger Awards every year for the best crime writing. Linda will spill the beans and plant the clues in the Goldster Inside Story with me your host Humphrey Hawksley at Twelve Noon on Friday September 24th
