Reading Envy 131: Tartan Noir and More with Claire Duffy

Claire Duffy is a crime writer in Glasgow, and overall interesting person who came on the Reading Envy podcast to chat books. We talk about how tartan noir has very little to do with tartans, the crime community in Scotland, and how classics change as we get older.
