In this episode we discuss Mick Herron’s first novel in the Oxford series, Down Cemetery Road, with bestselling author, podcaster and Booklist’s former executive editor, Keir Graff. We start with some spoiler free discussion of the book before getting into the novel’s plot twists, character development, and highlighting the book’s roots in both espionage and domestic drama.

Plus, terrible dinner parties! Bad marriages! And are Brits more forthright than Yanks?

We also talk about the novel’s adaptation into an Apple TV miniseries.

All that and more in this episode!
