On her new podcast Watching The Detectives, Cara Hunter takes us behind the scenes with DI Andy Thompson and former CSI Joey Giddings – both of whom consult on her novels – as they reveal the gory truth about what crime fiction and TV gets right about police investigations… and what they get criminally wrong!

Join them for a very special episode recorded live at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival.

 

Cara Hunter is the author of a crime series featuring DI Adam Fawley and his Oxford-based police team. No Way Out was selected by the Sunday Times as one of the 100 best crime novels since 1945. Hunter’s novels have sold over a million copies worldwide. Her recent first standalone, Murder in the Family, was a Sunday Times bestseller and TikTok sensation.

DI Andy Thompson joined Thames Valley Police in 2000 and has worked across both the urban and rural areas of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. He has spent the last two decades working in various roles including uniformed response, custody, neighbourhood policing, CID and public protection within the realm of domestic abuse.

Joey Giddings has a degree in forensic science and has worked in the criminal justice system for 13 years. He’s a former crime scene investigator, forensic examiner, and forensic quality consultant. He is also a magistrate in the adult criminal court. He regularly speaks in public about perceptions of forensic science and has lectured at universities, provided awareness training for barristers, and appeared in a BBC Ideas vodcast and BBC1 documentary.
