Interview: Russel (RD) McLean
The Five By Five Interview with Russel (RD) McLean I don't remember when I first met Russel McLean, but we've bumped into each other at various book launches, crime fiction festivals and suchlike over the years. I still recommend his novel Ed's Dead to people as it's absolutely hilarious and also very clever - it ratchets up so carefully that you don't notice you've gone from a perfectly sane pace to a completely insane one until it's too late...
