Lucy Foley

It’s the final episode of the year!!!!! Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to the Sunday Salon - after 48 episodes (!) I’m having a break for a few weeks, but I’ll be back next year with a new series.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this fittingly festive finale with Lucy Foley - whose best-selling book The Hunting Party is about what may be the worst New Year’s Eve ever. I LOVED this book, which has just come out in paperback. Set over the Christmas break, it revolves around a group of high-flying university friends who go to a remote Scottish Lodge for New Year’s Eve - which is when things start to go horribly wrong. The result is a brilliantly clever murder mystery in the vein of the classic Agatha Christies. We talk about that, Lucy’s previous career in publishing, genre discrimination, and how it feels when everyone assumes your sex scenes are based on reality (awkward).

FINALLY: while I have your attention, might you consider donating to my charity Christmas appeal in aid of the BookTrust which provides books to vulnerable children? The link to do so is here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sundaysalon
