This year, five authors joined us to share their personal classics – Dan Judson, Gunnar Staalesen, Ruth Ware, Luke Delaney and James Craig. We also had a visit from Felix Francis, who told us about his favourite novel written by his father Dick. Our writers explored works by James Sallis, Agatha Christie, Ted Lewis, Dashiell Hammett and more.
Now that we’re wrapping it up, we’ll leave you with a quick guide to all the articles featured in Classics in September 2015. We’d also love to know which ones were your favourites so we know what to cover next year. Please tell us in the comments below.
