Val McDermid on PD James
Crime writer Val McDermid chooses the author, and creator of Inspector Dalgliesh, PD James. With Matthew Parris. From 2015.
Val McDermid thinks crime writing is most definitely a suitable job for a woman.
She believes women are good at observing the minutiae of life and incorporating them into clue development.
Despite writing a book entitled 'An Unsuitable Job For A Woman', PD James evidently thought the same.
Val McDermid discusses her grea life with the help of James's friend, the literary critic Peter Kemp.
Presented by Matthew Parris.
Producer: Maggie Ayre
First broadcast on 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4 in June 2015.
