About this episode
Michael Hogan discusses his admiration for Jonathan Creek and how it influenced his debut novel.
Journalist and author Michael Hogan talks about his love of duffle-coated, accidental detective Jonathan Creek and how his fondness for cosy crime went on to inspire his debut novel. The Dogwalkers' Detective Agency is out now and follows the adventures of Charlie Boardman and his beloved Staffy, Ruby as they go on the trail of a killer after finding a body on their morning walk. It's been hailed by the likes of Claudia Winkleman and Marian Keyes and is the perfect Autumnal read, full of twists, turns and Hogan's trademark humour. Hosted on Acast.
