Recommended Reads: Beyond the Thirty Nine Steps by Ursula Buchan
15 February 2022
Diamond Crime author, Stephen Timmins, recommends Ursula Buchan’s wonderful biography of her grandfather, John Buchan, titled Beyond the Thirty Nine Steps. “Well worth reading if you are, like me, a fan of the great man – or even if you’re not. Full of fascinating information, beautifully written and deeply moving at the end. I’m a huge fan of Buchan’s Richard Hannay stories, which is what led me to create, in my Fortieth Step thrillers, a 21st-century update of Buchan’s characters.
