1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In this episode of Adventures in Journalism, Martin Hesp takes us behind the lens of his latest novel, The Cornish Snapper: The Granite Mystery. Can a non-police sleuth still exist in the modern age of forensics and cordoned-off crime scenes? Martin argues they can—if they’re carrying a press pass and a digital camera. He discusses the &quot;brainwave&quot; that turned a seasoned, world-weary reporter into the Dr. Watson for a sharp-witted, tech-savvy press photographer's Sherlock Holmes. Highlights include: The 2002 Debate: How a BBC Radio 4 discussion on the &quot;death of crime fiction&quot; challenged Martin to find a new kind of detective. The &quot;Snapper&quot; Dynamic: Why the pairing of a veteran journalist and a modern photographer creates the perfect investigative duo. A Newlyn Awakening: Listen to an exclusive reading from the book’s opening chapter, capturing the salt, grit, and authenticity of a Cornish fishing port at dawn. Journalism vs. Fiction: Reflections on how 50 years in the newsroom provides the ultimate toolkit for building a believable mystery. The Cornish Snapper is available now.
