Ann Cleeves - crime novelist, library advocate and creator of best-loved characters Vera Stanhope, Matthew Venn and Jimmy Perez - joins Simon and Matt for a natter about her latest novel, 'The Killing Stones'.
This new Jimmy Perez mystery is perfect for this time of year - and we can highly recommend you get a copy and curl up under a blanket over Christmas and enjoy it.
Ann chats about getting bored with Jimmy (and then liking him again), her love of Orkney and Shetland, the Kirkwall Ba and why she won't ever kill off one of her main characters.
