Katherine Faulkner on undercover reporting and the rise of 'mum noir'

Katherine Faulkner has had such a fascinating career. A former investigative journalist at the Daily Mail, she used to go undercover to get to the heart of her stories. Then she went on to become joint head of news at The Times - and while on maternity leave wrote her first book, Greenwich Park, an absolutely gripping thriller about toxic relationships and unwanted friends. I loved hearing about all of this - especially a particularly hair raising reporting mission involving designer fashion and an escape dash to the airport, as well as her memories of stashing her laptop in the pram so she could snatch writing time if her baby fell asleep. Oh, and there was just so much else too - she was absolutely great and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
