It’s election time again in the UK. Your hosts Lisa and Nicky use this as an excuse to talk about two lords who have been linked to true crime and popular thrillers. Lisa takes on Lord Archer and talks through his court case and how he used it to his advantage. Nicky talks about Lord Lucan and the tragic murder of Sandra Rivett. And of course, both ladies get on their soap boxes about the state of the UK and give their take on what they would do if The Red Rabbit Hole party were elected. We apologise in advance for them singing their party’s theme song!

Our two hosts Nicky and Lisa are back for part 2 to give you a rat update and finish off the story that inspired Nicky to write the Cat Hall incident in her thriller The Brother. The girls talk about predators (not the alien hunter kind – mores the pity!) and techniques criminals will use on their victims to gain trust, and move them to secondary locations. Armed with the book The Gift of Fear by Gavin deBecker, your hosts jump down a 2nd rabbit hole of why it’s best to trust your gut and of course, Lisa reiterates her theory on generally being a horrible person to ward off any potential abductors. Now, let’s all follow the red rabbit and get down there with them before we’re approached by weird strangers brandishing sweets and puppies…
