A Good Read: Jane Hill & Derek Owusu

Jane Hill & Derek Owusu

BBC Radio 4 - A Good Read, Jane Hill & Derek OwusuClose menu

The news presenter and the author both talk about the books they've chosen.

News presenter Jane Hill and writer Derek Owusu talk to Harriett about books, including two about real life murders a century apart, and F. Scott Fitzgerald's last novel

Jane Hill chooses The Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale, and Harriett's choice, Murder in Notting Hill by Mark Olden, takes place a hundred years later, in a very different part of British society. Derek Owusu isn't sure whether Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzerald really is a good read after all.
