What is the Whodunnit Dinners Podcast about?

It's a fun podcast where Whodunnit Dinners writers, Helen Barbour and Katie McLaughlin discuss whodunnits...and dinners! Each fortnight one of us discusses a book and the other a recipe they made in response to a clue. We think about who could play main characters, the motivations and writing style of the author, history and culture surrounding that book. Then we chat through the food chosen, briefly explore the ingredients and the recipe and finally, we get the clue for the next book.
