Hello and welcome to ‘In Suspense’, a podcast for fans and writers of crime fiction, hosted by Lesley Kara and Nikki Smith. In each series we’ll be interviewing a wide range of authors, both established and debut, and focussing on a particular topic/theme. If there are any topics you'd like us to talk about, do get in touch on any of our social media platforms. Full length episodes are released every three weeks with occasional series of minisodes in between, where we hear from the experts on all manner of writing and publishing.
