Abir Mukherjee is the Times bestselling author of the Wyndham & Banerjee series of crime novels set in Raj-era India which have sold over 400,000 copies worldwide and been translated into 15 languages. His books have won numerous awards including the CWA Dagger for best Historical Novel, the Prix du Polar Européen, the Wilbur Smith Award for Adventure Writing and the Amazon Publishing Readers Award for E-book for the Year. Alongside fellow author, Vaseem Khan, he also hosts the popular Murder Junction podcast, where every fortnight, joined by special guests from the media and literature, he takes a wry look at the world of books, writing, and the creative arts, tackling everything from bestsellers to pop culture.
It was great fun having Abir back on the podcast as he catches us up on his writing endeavours since he was last on, including how he called on "the Avengers of crime writing" to help him with his award winning thriller, Hunted. Plus, we talk about the differences in writing series fiction compared to standalones, what he has coming up, and he tells us about five books that influenced him as an author.
