Description

The Killer Women Podcast: Bestselling suspense author Danielle Girard hosts conversations with the women who create crime fiction’s darkest and most nuanced characters. How do these women balance real life, of providing primary care in their homes and communities— as mothers, wives, sisters and daughters, while simultaneously living for months, or years, inside the heads of dark villains, entangling protagonists in harrowing circumstances, and giving readers not just a great story but an honest portrayal of what each of us is capable of when pushed to her limit..?
