Fun fact: The names of the members of the various noble families in this DdM novel are actually taken from real people, who lived in 14th century Cornwall - I guess DdM forgot to ask their permission about appearing in her brilliant thriller. You can look them up on the internet ;-)

Brilliant novel and a brilliant radio drama - hopefully they will turn it into a thriller TV series or movie some day 😉 It would be way better than most of the stuff that Hollywood and the TV production companies have to offer these days.

There’s a problem with recording at the end, which keeps repeating weirdly…

The sound kept coming & gowing. Most odd.
