Episode 12: What Makes a Thriller? with Kathryn Foxfield and Maya MacGregor
Welcome back to the Turn The Page podcast.  This month, our episode is all about thrillers. Sophie is a big thriller reader, but thrillers haven't always been my cup of tea, or so I thought. But after chatting about different books, and seeing what falls under the 'thriller' category on Goodreads, this month, we're asking the question, 'What exactly makes a thriller a thriller?'  To help us out, I'll be chatting to two thriller/mystery authors, Kathryn Foxfield and Maya MacGregor about their latest books and asking them what goes into writing a gripping thriller/mystery. If you'd like to jump ahead to the interview, feel free to use the timestamp below - although we hope you enjoy the entire episode! You can also watch the video interview on YouTube or via our blog post.  Interview timestamp: 00:27:14 Click here for a list of the books we mentioned in this episode.
