This month, Darren and Holly have been reading We Solve Murders, the first novel in a new series by the omni-talented Richard Osman. How well has the Whodunnit been done? Is a bit of Cosy Crime the best antidote to … er, thinking about the US Election? Which we also do in this podcast. Quite a few things to tease out, especially with Darren not long returned from a trip to America’s Deep South. Not least: how do so many American evangelical Christians justify supporting a man like Donald Trump?
