We love the description of Helen on her website.\\xa0She\\u2019s just recently been nominated for the Theakston\\u2019s Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the year (for the second time). The former social worker, who worked with sex offenders, admits to drawing on her experience to form some of her characters and stories.\\xa0In this episode, we find out more about growing up in rural Australia, in a neighbourhood of troubled males, and how this influenced some of her career choices.\\xa0We also get a peak behind the curtains of how her critically acclaimed novel, The Cry, became a riveting mini-series on the BBC.\\xa0Helen\\u2019s book recommendation is Doug Johnstone\\u2019s A Dark Matter.\\xa0We also hear David Wilson, Scottish Professor of Criminology, in conversation with author Lin Anderson at last year\\u2019s Bloody Scotland International Crime Festival in Stirling.\\xa0\\xa0
