This week on The Conversation, Nadine Matheson is joined by the insightful former Lynne McEwan, who also writes as Eva McCrae for a conversation that covers two remarkable careers, the craft of storytelling, and why the truth about crime always begins somewhere ordinary. In this episode, they discuss Lynn's journey from a successful career as a newspaper photographer to writing compelling crime fiction, including her latest book, A Death in Glasgow.
A Death in Glasgow follows Sergeant Mae MacKay as she investigates the mysterious death of a young woman, initially ruled a suicide. As Mae digs deeper, she uncovers layers of complexity surrounding the case, revealing the impact of her own past on her determination to seek the truth. Lynne shares her experiences of writing about working-class women in crime fiction, the challenges of portraying Glasgow authentically, and the importance of empathy in storytelling.
Listeners will find inspiration in Lynne's reflections on overcoming personal challenges, including her hearing loss, and how it has shaped her unique perspective as a writer. This episode is a rich exploration of resilience, the power of narrative, and the intricate connections between life and art.
