Val Wood discusses her new historical romance ‘The Lonely Wife’ and her long-standing role supporting those with sight loss in her local area of Hull and Yorkshire’s East Riding.   Amanda Robson leads us into the dark psychological world of her new domestic thriller ‘My Darling’.   Loyal listener, Penny Melville-Brown takes us on a European tour of her favourite crime fiction.   And we have a tribute to the recently departed actor and narrator Geoffrey Palmer.
