Radio 4's Open Book

In the better late than never category, Radio 4's Open Book's programme on 17 Dec included a section on crime fiction:

Traditionally crime fiction comes into its own early in the New Year.

To mark the imminent avalanche of titles Mariella invites three of the stars of the genre, Barbara Nadel, Qui Xiaolong and Karin Alvtegen to nominate their top fictional detectives.

You can still listen to the whole programme and the books mentioned are listed here.
