Join Sophie and Steve as we sit down with author Andreina Cordani to explore her great new novel, A Scrooge Mystery. We dive into Dickens’ legacy, the power of fiction to confront social injustice, and why ghost stories belong at Christmas. Andreina also tackles one of literature’s biggest questions: does pure evil exist? She knows some fascinating stuff about the origin of our celebrations. Did we say that after we'd booked her, the New York Times jumped on the bandwagon and gave her last book, just out in the US a great review? Also she was nominated for a CWA Whodunnit Crime Dagger Award. Just saying we bring you the best.
