Do you love crime fiction? Look no further than Dinuka Mckenzie’s upcoming novel ‘Taken’, released on February 1st.

A brilliant follow-up to her debut novel ‘The Torrent’, Detective Sergeant Kate Miles is back from maternity leave and faced with a whole new set of challenges. Torn between her own spiralling personal life and taking charge of a child abduction case, this novel is a thrilling, action-packed and touching read that will have you hooked from the start. 

Dinuka joined Irene Diakanastasis on 2SER for a chat about her upcoming novel and its dynamic female lead, where she explores the novel’s central themes on the unrealistic (even contradictory) expectations of women returning to work after having a child and the flaws in police culture.
