Sister Agnes on air
13.05.08 Anna Richardson
Detective-nun Sister Agnes, the heroine of Alison Joseph’s popular crime series of books will be brought to life in a radio drama for BBC Radio 4’s “Woman’s Hour”.
The radio version, “Sister Agnes Investigates” was specially written for the programme by Allison & Busby author Joseph, adapted from her book Shadow of Death. It will be a five-part mini series, broadcast daily during the week of 19th May, starring actress Anne Marie Duff.
Joseph’s Sister Agnes series so far comprises eight books. The latest two are Darkening Sky and Shadow of Death, published by Allison & Busby, and a ninth book, A Violent Act, is due in hardback this autumn.
Joseph, who used to work as a radio presenter, also writes original radio drama and has previously adapted novels for BBC Radio 4, including the award-winning production of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.
