Mercedes Mercier writes 'just-one-more-page' crime with twisting plots and relatable characters. As well as writing books, Mercedes works in the criminal justice system, providing her unique insight into the world of prisons, crime and offenders. Her debut novel White Noise has recently been release and she is currently writing her second novel, to be published in 2023. When Mercedes doesn't have her nose in her laptop and her mind in a story, she loves to read, travel, try new restaurants, and listen to podcasts (true crime of course). 

Rae Cairns is a former youth worker who has turned to a life of crime… writing. She writes crime with heart; thriller and suspense novels featuring everyman (and woman) characters. Her first novel, The Good Mother, was shortlisted for Best Debut Crime Fiction in the 2021 NED KELLY awards and was re-published in 2022 by Harper Collins. It draws on her background as a youth worker mentoring disadvantaged youth, many of them children of the paramilitaries, in Northern Ireland during the final years of ‘The Troubles’.

In this chat with guest host Rae Cairns chats to Mercedes about the writing of White Noise.
