GP turned award-winning author Fiona Sussman's latest crime novel Hooked Up explores the manipulative nature of reality TV, through the premise of a serial killer targeting ex TV show cast and crew in Auckland.
When she's not writing crime thrillers, Fiona's also the co-founder of The Aotearoa Charity Hospital Trust - a charitable surgical service in Auckland set up to assist those who have fallen between the cracks in our health system.
She speaks with Mihi Forbes about the twists of turns of life - and reality TV dating.
Fiona has two events coming up in November, at Remuera Library on Wednesday 19th and at Matakana Books on Saturday 22nd November.
