Provided they do not occupy a seat. Mick Herron's journey to the top of the charts with Slow Horses was a circuitous one. Catherine Chidgey had a 13-year gap between her first three novels, and her return with The Wish Child, Remote Sympathy, The Axeman's Carnival, Pet and The Book of Guilt. They discuss navigating life's harder parts, and how these have shaped them into the writers they are today.
