Tana French Mixes Ireland and the Old West

We are going full Ireland on this show. First, we talk to the incredible Tana French about her newest, The Keeper. Set in rural Ireland it combines great mystery writing with the classic American Western. Does that sound like it is a long shot? Not with Tana’s talent. We then go from a fascinating conversation with a great author to Hodges and Figgis, our first international bookseller, smack in the middle of Dublin. It’s all Irish and on this week’s Book Case, so pull up a pint and join us.
