After the success of last years Crime Scene we re delighted to welcome back award winning Crime Author Lesley Thomson and for 2022 she will be joined by fellow crime writer JS Monroe aka Jon Stock
As well as Talking Crime, Lesley will be discussing her latest chilling thriller, The Companion.
In a grand old mansion in the middle of the Sussex countryside, seven people have seen more than they should. James Ritchie was looking forward to a boys' day out with his son, Wilbur - even if he was a little late picking him up from the home of his ex-wife, Anna. Annoyed by his late arrival, and competing for their son's attention, Anna leaves the two of them to their day with the promise of a roast dinner when Wilbur returns. But Anna will never see her family again. That afternoon, James and Wilbur are found dead, the victims of a double stabbing on the beach. DI Toni Kemp, of Sussex police, must unravel a case which has shocked the county to its core. What she discovers will lead her to Blacklock House, a grand country mansion, long ago converted into flats. Here in the middle of nowhere, where a peacock struts the lawn, and a fountain plays intermittently, seven long-term residents have seen more than they should. But this is a community who are good at keeping secrets.

Bella is devastated. Is this the real reason she was lured out here?
