Jane Hill & Derek Owusu
News presenter Jane Hill and writer Derek Owusu talk to Harriett about books, including two about real life murders a century apart, and F. Scott Fitzgerald's last novel
Jane Hill chooses The Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale, and Harriett's choice, Murder in Notting Hill by Mark Olden, takes place a hundred years later, in a very different part of British society. Derek Owusu isn't sure whether Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzerald really is a good read after all.
