A guest episode where 2SER's Irene Diakanastasis is joined in conversation by Dinuka McKenzie to talk about her latest novel 'Taken'. 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 spiraling 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. They talk 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. Thank you to Harper Collins AU for providing copies of 'Taken' to 2SER, and Irene for producing this discussion.
