"Everyone should be able to carry the weight of a grown man just in case they need to dispose of a body."
Roz Watkins
Crime author Roz Watkins joins Nadine Matheson to trace her unlikely path from engineering student to patent attorney to acclaimed crime writer. From childhood stories dark enough to warrant a trigger warning, to the surreal experience of finding an agent at the York Festival of Writing, to blowing up her entire life in her forties. Roz shares the persistence, community, and dark humour behind her career. She also introduces her latest novel, The Wicked Girls, a gothic psychological thriller set in a Cornish village where girls keep dying on their 17th birthdays.
