"Nothing lasts forever," Emmy-nominated TV producer Remi Kone tells us, reflecting on one of life's most important lessons. It's this perspective that has guided her remarkable journey from working on shows like Killing Eve and Spooks to crafting her debut crime novel, "Innocent Guilt."
In this captivating conversation, we explore the fascinating parallels between hooking TV viewers across multiple episodes and capturing readers across chapters, with Remi sharing invaluable insights about character development that apply to both mediums. "It's the characters you love, not always the stories," she observes, explaining why readers become so invested in fictional lives that they message authors to debate character choices.
Perhaps most reassuring for aspiring writers is Remy's candor about the publishing process itself. From agent rejections that turned into valuable feedback to the surreal experience of seeing her words in print, she demystifies the journey with warmth and honesty.
Victim or murderer . . .
Can she discover the truth?
On a misty autumn afternoon, a woman covered in blood clutching a baseball bat walks silently into a London police station. The two officers assigned to her case are DI Leah Hutch and DS Benjamin Randle.
But the woman refuses to speak. She is not injured and the blood on the bat is not hers. What has she done? Is she the victim or the perpetrator? As Leah and Randle start their inquiry, a man is found battered to death in a nearby park. Journalist Odie Reid receives a tip off and is determined to solve the case first, trying to link this death to the woman held in custody.
Leah and Odie have history and very quickly their cat and mouse
