What should you read this summer? With Anthony Horowitz

Why are murder mysteries so obsessed with grand houses and wealthy families? Does a summer read really need to be light? What can a writer learn from imitating their literary heroes? And when should an adaptation leave the book behind?

This week on Ask Penguin, Rhianna is joined by bestselling novelist and screenwriter Anthony Horowitz to discuss Marble Hall Murders, the third instalment in his Susan Ryeland mystery series.

Together they explore Anthony’s lifelong obsession with writing, why he’s still thrilled when a new idea arrives, and how he knows when a story simply has to be written. Plus, Penguin publicists Alison Barrow and Olivia Mead answer your questions and recommend the books to keep you reading all summer long
