In this episode of Bookable Space, Alex Crockford reads from The Time Capsule Murders: A Cambridge Mystery and talks about writing place, developing characters, the past as inspiration, and more. It is a delightful episode complete with character voices.

About the Book

Seventeen years ago, bumbling law student Roger Whiteley and a group of his contemporaries gathered for a pre-graduation party in Cambridge. During the evening they made secret predictions about their futures, which they locked away in a time capsule. The group reassembles in college to open the capsule on the allotted date, but less than twenty-four hours into their reunion one of them is stabbed to death and the capsule itself goes missing. Whiteley is dragged into a treasure hunt with his eccentric former criminology tutor, Gerald Sinclair, as the unlikely duo race to track down the time capsule and unlock the mystery before the killer finds it.

About the Author
