Ruth Ware, Abir Mukherjee, Andrew Wilson

Agatha Christie and other Golden Age authors introduced us to the classic murder mysteries: stories set in picturesque villages or amongst travellers in exotic locations; mysteries solves by brilliant detectives, ably assisted by their lowly side-kick.

Now a new generation of authors are taking those familiar tropes, and re-inventing them for a modern audience. Ruth Ware, Abir Mukherjee and Andrew Wilson discuss how the murder mystery has grown up.
