Lucy Vine: From Rom-Com Queen to Cosy Crime Killer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Lucy Vine has spent years making readers laugh with bestselling rom-coms. But under the pen name Elly Vine, she's now embracing murder and a very different kind of female rage.
In this episode of Confessions of a Book Collector, Lucy talks about why so many women are drawn to crime fiction, the surprising link between humour and suspense, and how The Lottery Winners Club was inspired by the idea that women aren't always allowed to express anger openly.
We also explore the challenge of writing under two names at once, her obsession with twists and red herrings, the books that terrified her as a child, and the strange reality of being nine books into a writing career while still feeling convinced you'll never finish the next one.
