Kiri Pritchard-McLean loves a bit of crime - so much so that she hosts a podcast about serial killers. So she's right at home on Loose Ends this week talking cosy crime and laminating machines with actor and comedian Kerry Godliman, who stars as the charming private detective and oyster-shucking restaurateur Pearl Nolan in TV drama Whitstable Pearl. Then things take a dark turn with The Long Firm author Jake Arnott's latest novel Blood Rival - a psychological thriller based on the Oedipus myth but also rooted in true crime journalism - turns out he worries a lot about libel suits but he names no names. India Knight's book Home is a plea to chuck out social media and get in touch with our charm-ometers at home. Nothing nefarious there but she does want us all to steal her design tips. Star folk musicians Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden sing songs from their Wassail album and attempt to solve the mystery of the top motorway service stations in the country as they head out on tour.Presented by Kiri Pritchard-McLean Produced in Salford by Olive Clancy
