Crime fiction is one of the most popular genres, eagerly read by those who want to understand the motives of criminal and killers and those who enjoy the puzzle of solving a crime. Three bestselling crime authors discuss why they chose to write about crime and why it has such an enduring appeal for their readers. Hosted by L.V Matthews, join Gytha Lodge, Chris MacDonald and Tim Weaver in answering why is crime such a thriller?
