Queen of crime Val McDermid returns to Stark Talk for a second time, one of the very few guests to do so…and there is much to say. As well as hearing about the love and marriage which has changed everything , she tells Edi how Chalet school author Eleanor Brent Dyer set her on her determined path to be a writer and movingly talks about her father who passed on his love of Raith Rovers…But it’s her story of the conversation with her mother at the end of her life that will stop you in your tracks. You can hear Stark Talk on radio and, in a longer interview, in the podcast.
