Welcome back Bookends to our latest offering in our Debut Spotlight series where today we have a thriller! We were joined by the lovely Ruth Kelly, journalist and author of 'The Villa', a gripping and unsettling thriller set on a reality TV show.
We chatted about Ruth's own experiences working on a reality show, the kinds of thrillers she enjoys reading & watching, mental health and why it still feels such a relevant topic and so much more, we hope you enjoy this episode.
