MON MON 14:15 Foreign Bodies b01mnz2n (Listen) MON Foreign Bodies, Belgium - Hercule Poirot and Jules Maigret MON Foreign Bodies: A History Of Modern Europe Through Literary MON Detectives MON Crime fiction reflects society's tensions. Helped by famous MON literary detectives including Maigret, Montalbano, Dalgliesh MON and Wallander, Mark Lawson shows how crimes reflect Europe's MON times from the world wars of the 20th century to the MON Eurozone crisis and nationalist tensions of the 21st. In MON programme one, Mark Lawson looks at the template set by a MON Belgian created by an Englishwoman and a French cop created MON by a Belgian: Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot and Georges MON Simenon's Jules Maigret hearing from Val McDermid, Lord Grey MON Gowrie, Andrea Camilleri and David Suchet. MON In crime fiction, everyday details become crucial clues: the MON way people dress and speak, the cars they drive, the jobs MON they have, the meals they eat. And the motivations of the MON criminals often turn on guilty secrets: how wealth was MON created, who slept with whom, what somebody did in the war. MON For these reasons, detective novels often tell the story of MON a place and a time much better than more literary novels and MON newspapers which can take a lot of contemporary information MON for granted. MON Mark Lawson's series focuses on some of the celebrated MON investigators of European fiction and their creators: from MON popular modern protagonists - including Henning Mankell's MON Kurt Wallander, Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole and Andrea Camilleri's MON Inspector Montalbano - through Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus MON and Lynda La Plante's DCI Jane Tennison back to Friedrich MON Dürrenmatt's Inspector Barlach and Josef Skvorecký's MON Lieutenant Boruvka.

Especially when FRI there are so many exciting programmes coming up in the next FRI week, which he's got to tell you about. At least some of FRI them are exciting. Some of them aren't quite his cup of tea, FRI if he's honest, but that's not really the point, is it? They FRI may be right up your street. It's not really his place to FRI express an opinion. Even if it is tempting. This may be a FRI come-down from heady days spent announcing on the Today FRI programme, but he's got a job to do.
