About Your Local Writer - Old Swan Hotel

An author’s workspace is their home from home; whether it’s coffee shops, libraries, pubs or public transport. Four writers tell us how their adopted environment affects their work.

Amen Alonge is on top form in the electrifying thriller A Killing in Lagos set in his native Nigeria. The latest in M.W. Craven’s brilliant Washington Poe series is the darkly funny The Final Vow. Frances Crawford’s assured debut A Bad Bad Place is rich in dialogue, heart and authenticity. Marie Tierney’s mesmerising debut Deadly Animals won the inaugural McDermid Debut Award. Jeremy Vine takes charge of proceedings.
