Author and former care worker Jess Kidd joins Simon for her second appearance in the Radio 2 Book Club. She'll be discussing her new novel The Hoarder and hearing what our listener reviewers thought of the book.

Maud Drennan - underpaid carer and unintentional psychic - is the latest in a long line of dogsbodies for the ancient, belligerent Cathal Flood. Yet despite her best efforts, Maud is drawn into the mysteries concealed in his filthy, once-grand home.

She realises that something is changing: Cathal, and the junk-filled rooms, are opening up to her. With only her agoraphobic landlady and a troop of sarcastic ghostly saints to help, Maud must uncover what lies beneath Cathal's decades-old hostility, and the strange activities of the house itself. And if someone has hidden a secret there, how far will they go to ensure it remains buried?

We'll also unleash a brand new Confession and play some of your oldie suggestions. Plus, Matt Williams will have the sports news and Bobbie Pryor will keep you up to date with the latest traffic and travel.
