About the event

Actor, comedian and author Ardal O’Hanlon sits down with broadcaster and book lover Rick O’Shea to talk about his new novel, A Plot to Die For. The first in a new mystery series, it introduces celebrity gardener Finn O’Leary, who returns to the small Irish town of Abbeyford to care for his mother and soon finds himself investigating a murder. Ardal will discuss creating Finn and the world of Abbeyford, his move into cosy crime and his plans for the series, which mixes small-town characters, mystery and the humour for which he is so well known.
