Our spectacular series of literary legends continues with the bestselling crime master Peter James! Peter has written 19 Sunday Times number 1's, selling over 21 million books worldwide, with his Roy Grace series of books, including Want You Dead and Picture You Dead, turned into a hit ITV drama starring John Simm. His latest novel is Stop Them Dead. We talked to him about cleaning for Orson Welles, calling Kurt Vonnegut out of the blue, the scariest book he's ever read and writing to Enid Blyton about her characters' toilet habits!
Daisy will be at the Margate Bookie at the end of October with former podcast guests Lou Sanders, Andi Osho, Yomi Adegoke, Lucy Vine and many more.
