Congratulations to @stephaniewscott for #WhatsLeftofMeIsYours, set in modern-day Tokyo and inspired by a true-crime in the marriage break-up industry. & #39;A brilliant debut& #39; @DoughtyLouise & #39;An exquisite read& #39; @zoeannewest. Here& #39;s Stephanie talking about it. https://twitter.com/BBCWomansHour/status/1252167438038433792">https://twitter.com/BBCWomans...
The Ratline by @philippesands sounds fascinating too. The author of prize-winning & #39;East West Street& #39; provides an account of a leading Nazi on the run through post-war Europe. Compelling as any thriller, you can hear Philippe talking about it here- https://twitter.com/philippesands/status/1251094949736730624">https://twitter.com/philippes...

- and in children& #39;s fiction, here& #39;s @sharnajackson talking about Mic Drop, the latest in the High Rise mystery series from the always excellent @_KnightsOf. Sharna is being interviewed by her son, and handles this much better than I would. https://twitter.com/Waterstones/status/1252228022393901057">https://twitter.com/Waterston...
