episode 2: Ann Cleeves: Unplugged
The Tartan Noir Show returns for its second series and we are delighted to be joined by one of the UK’s best loved crime writers - Ann Cleeves. She’s written more than 30 novels and created the characters Jimmy Perez (played by Douglas Henshall in the hit TV series Shetland) and Vera Stanhope (played by Brenda Blethyn in TV’s Vera). Ann also chats to Theresa about her support for libraries, her love for Shetland and Fair Isle - even without amenities - and why, when she starts to write a novel, she never knows what will happen at the end. Her recommended book is Caz Frear’s - Shed no Tears, the third in her Cat Kinsella series.
