Here at Book Matters, we are taking a well-earned break over the summer holidays but we have some recordings of our Live In Conversation events held at the library during 2025.

We welcomed Chris Hammer to the library in October where he spoke to a large audience about his new novel Legacy which sees the return of his popular character Martin Scarsden.

The audio quality is a little compromised, but we are sure you will enjoy listening to Chris and Tim as they chat about his writing and his books.
