Phil & Natalie were delighted to return to Chiltern Kills this year. The crime festival which raises funds for the homeless is in its second year, organised by writers Tony Kent and Paul Waters. Its a beautiful day out where crime fiction fans get to genuinely mingle with their print heroes.

Some things you need to know before listening:

*At the beginning every time we tried to introduce a guest, Tony Kent walked out onto stage, hence the laughter!

*Whilst we were doing our session, Jeffrey Archer was on the other stage, hence there's some references to him made by our author guests.

Our panel was just fabulous this year: Erin Kelly, Vaseem Khan, Tony Kent and C.L. Taylor (who you'll hear referred to as Callie in the chat)

Enjoy the live edition and we'll link to the authors' recommendations on our website bestsellerspodcast.com

Phil and Natalie are delighted to welcome Sir Ian Rankin to BestSellers in the week where his new Rebus - the 25th Rebus thriller - goes straight in at No.1 in the Sunday Times Top Ten Hardback Fiction chart. In this ep, Ian talks about how hard this book was to write; why he's a frustrated Rock Star and why he's attracted to the darker side of the human condition.

You'll also find the books he recommends from other writers at our website: bestsellerspodcast.com

Enjoy!

Enough Gushing! We're Back with a returning writer. A man whom we both love very much. It's the wonderfully modest Jason Rekulak. His new thriller sees a father receive a phone call from a daughter he hasn't spoken to for a few years, to say she's getting married. What he doesn't realise is that she's marrying the son of a billionaire and this wedding is dripping in wealth and weirdness in equal amounts...! It's such fun, will keep you guessing and you can hear Jason describe how he spent ages writing and re-writing the beginning of this novel so that he got it right; why film and tv rights can be such a laborious process and why he's doing it for the Dads...!

Enjoy. And can you help us by rating us, reviewing us and subscribing if you haven't already please. Thank you SO much.
