The first guest for 2024 is writer and novelist, Dinuka McKenzie!

She joined me to discuss her latest novel, the 3rd in the Detective Kate Miles series - ‘Tipping Point’.

Topics discussed include:

- The inspiration for Tipping Point - the brother and sister dynamic and the decision to open the novel with a chapter not from Kate’s perspective - a series first!

- The importance of family/the goings-on of a family in Kate’s life/this series.

How our understanding of others can be shaken/changed by certain events - contrasted with a family’s blind belief in one of their own. ‘They aren’t capable of this’ etc.

- Guilt as a driving force.

- Writing a series with a recurring central protagonist - the freedoms and restrictions it presents.

- And a whole ton more!

Thank you muchly to Dinuka for talking all things ‘Tipping Point’ and Kate Miles with me on the show!
