Jessica Fellowes has delved into the golden age the roaring 1920s with her murder mystery series books, The Mitford Murders. She got hooked on the 1920s after writing detailed companion books to the enormously popular Downton Abbey television saga, created by her uncle Julian Fellowes. Using that knowledge as a springboard, she has imagined a world inhabited by the infamous Mitford sisters and where a murder is never far away. Jessica joins Kathryn to talk about creating a fictional world based on fact and how Downton Abbey changed her life.
