## Resource

You don't need me to tell you about Ardal O'Hanlon, right..? Stand up comedian, actor, writer. It's been a while since he gave us a Novel, though. His third - A Plot to Die For - is the first in a new series of gentle, funny, crime books. In this chat we discuss the novel, learn some Irish vernacular; we talk Fame, Celebrity and Howler Monkeys. Plus plenty of hilarious stories.
