The Radio 2 Book Club

Available for over a year

Zoe welcomes author and screenwriter Femi Kayode to the Book Club to discuss his brilliant new novel, 'Gaslight'. Femi has spent the last two decades in advertising, whilst also building an impressive resume on prime-time television, by creating and writing several award-winning TV dramas. He recently completed an MA in Crime Fiction - and is finishing a PHD now too (it seems he likes letters). Femi published his first novel, 'Lightseekers', in the pandemic. This was the beginning of a series of books based on the investigations of Dr Philip K. Talwo. Gaslight is the second book in this series, which centres around a murder within a Nigerian megachurch. Zoe chats with him about his inspirations for this story, his influences and how on earth he fits everything in!
