On a winter's night in 1974, a crime took place that would obsess the nation.

It was an extraordinary news story.

The story of an aristocrat, Lord Lucan, who's said to have killed the family Nanny,

mistaking her for his wife, then somehow just disappeared.

One of the great mysteries in English criminal history. We're still looking for

Leukin. It's honestly one of the most powerful stories of my lifetime. I'm Alex von

Tunselman. This is The Lucan Obsession. Listen on BBC Sounds. BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

Hello, I'm Harriet Gilbert. Thank you for downloading a good read, the podcasts, where two guests and I recommend books we love and describe why we love them. We don't always see eye to eye, but I hope you'll find some great reading suggestions here.

Hello, with me today, Janet Street Porter, writer, broadcaster, former editor of The Independent

on Sunday and a regular on ITV's Loose Women. With Janet, the Australian comedian Felicity Ward,

best known in the UK for the guilty feminist podcast and her Radio 4 series episodes.

Janet, would you start us off?

What's your choice of a good read?

Well, I've chosen a book called The Bloater.

Bloater is such a fabulous word, isn't it?

It's like a bloater is a kind of fish,

but it's also a fact person, if you're allowed to say that word on Radio 4 without getting

cancelled immediately. And I read about this book. I think I was kind of cruising through books

online and I read that it had been republished. It was originally written in 1968 and the comedian Stuart Lee had written a new

introduction to it. So I bought it because I'm fascinated by books about that period. I grew up in London

in the 1960s and this is set in Hampstead in, well, she wrote it in 1968.

And it's a, I think it's very much of its time.
