This week we’re jetting off to sun-kissed St Albans to meet crime writer, journalist, former fashionista, broadcaster, playwright, screenwriter and campaigner Angela Clarke. Angela attracted a gaggle of devoted fans with her Social Media Murder series of books. Her highly-anticipated new thriller On My Life has just been released. We talked to her about loving Marple, being haunted by Chandler, the filth in John Donne and getting gooey over Irvine Welsh.
