Book Night

Leigh Chambers and Alex Ruczaj present a fortnightly show featuring Cambridge-based writers.

Book Night this week speaks to Christobel Kent (centre with Leigh and Alex), author of seven crime novels – four of which feature Florence-based detective Sandro Cellini. Christobel’s writing has been labelled as sexy and evocative – ‘Italian noir’. Diana Athill describes her novels as ‘elaborate and convincing, with a potent sense of place and gripping events.’ We talk to Christobel about her latest book, A Darkness Descending and discuss the importance of place in her novels. The programme also includes interviews with psychological thriller writer Mischa Hiller and graphic novelist Karrie Fransman.

If you’re a writer and you want to come and have a natter then contact the show at booknight@cambridge105.fm. Or if you’re a reader and want to make suggestions or tell us what you think do also get in touch.
