236: Secrets and suspense - with Jo Furniss

Mon Nov 24 2025

Listen

Fear. There's a lot of it about currently. That's the currency of thriller and suspense authors of course, and our guest this week, British journalist and author Jo Furniss is brilliant at mining reader's inherent fears. Her most recent novel, Guilt Trip, poses a scenario all parents will dread: a minibus carrying the school swimming team never arrives back from a gala. The police don't know where it's gone and the school's 'no phones' policy means none of the kids has a device. They have vanished. Jo takes us through her craft, from original idea to finished novel, and shares the secrets of a great psychological suspense thriller. Also this week, a Cambridge University survey suggests that over half of authors believe AI will replace them in future, and we discuss a new scheme to ensure the book you buy is written by a human, rather than a bot.
