📚 Finished reading Deadline by Steph McGovern.

Deadline or Dead line? Either would make sense. Officially it seems to be the former.

This is a quick-to-read thriller telling the story of (fictional) TV presenter Rose who is in the midst of her career high - an exclusive interview with Britain’s Chancellor the Exchequer. When all of a sudden, in front of a viewership of million, the guidance of her studio team in her earpiece is replaced by something much more disturbing.

The author is herself a broadcaster - after various presenting jobs and more with the BBC she currently co-hosts the popular economics podcast The Rest Is Money. So she no doubt has some domain knowledge of what she writes. Hopefully thought the events of the book are not quite as simple as they seem to pull off.
