One of the worlds foremost novelists, Kate Atkinson is back with the newest edition of her beloved Jackson Brodie series, Death At The Sign Of The Rook.
She first won the Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year Award with her debut novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum - beating authors including Salman Rushdie, to that year's prize. It was the first of many awards for her and has lead to several TV adaptions.
She spoke to Susie Ferguson about what goes into a cosy crime novel.
