David sits down with bestselling author Lottie Moggach to discuss her fourth novel, Mrs Pearcey, a story rooted in a real Victorian murder that took place in her own grandmother’s kitchen in Camden.
Lottie shares how the case captured her imagination for years, from the shocking details of the crime to the way it was reported in the press at the time. Rather than stepping inside the mind of the killer, she chose to explore the world around her, shining a light on the birth of sensationalist journalism and the public’s growing appetite for true crime.
Lottie talks about the blurred lines between fact and fiction, the challenges of writing historical crime, growing up in a family of writers, and how living with a story for years can shape the final novel.
