The Radio 2 Book Club: with JP Delaney

Author JP Delaney joins Simon for the Radio 2 Book Club to discuss their new novel, The Girl Before. Plus Mark Radcliffe joins Simon to launch this year's Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Author JP Delaney joins Simon for the Radio 2 Book Club to discuss their new novel, The Girl Before. JP Delaney is a pseudonym for a writer who has previously written bestselling fiction. As well as finding out more about the book and author, Simon will play out what our listener reviewers thought.

Jane stumbles on the rental opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to live in a beautiful ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect, on condition she abides by a long list of exacting rules.

After moving in, she discovers that a previous tenant, Emma, met a mysterious death there - and starts to wonder if her own story will be a re-run of the girl before. As twist after twist catches the reader off guard, Emma's past and Jane's present become inexorably entwined in this tense, page-turning portrayal of psychological obsession.

Plus Mark Radcliffe joins Simon to launch this year's Radio 2 Folk Awards, and we'll also unleash a brand new Confession and play some of your oldies suggestions.
