"This month, Red’s guest is Louise Hare, whose atmospheric debut novel, ""This Lovely City,"" was set in bombed-out, post-war London and placed a young couple from the Windrush generation at the heart of a tender love story wrapped up in a whodunnit. The novel received rave reviews and Louise’s follow up, ""Miss Aldridge Regrets,"" was an eagerly anticipated treat that found its way into many-a-summer holiday suitcase. Set in 1936 aboard the ocean liner Queen Mary, it is a sparkling murder mystery, combining music and glamour with a probing exploration of race, class and pre-WW2 politics. Join Louise and Red as they explore the Golden Age of crime fiction, jazz and Art Deco, and the social divisions and suspicions that underpinned it."
