Jassy Mackenzie Discusses Plans for Next Jade de Jong Thriller, Pale Horses

Worst CaseCrime writer Jassy Mackenzie spoke to East Coast Radio about her latest book, Worst Case, and plans for her next Jade de Jong thriller, Pale Horses. Mackenzie says a great thriller involves “a fast-moving, relevant plot, an engaging theme, intriguing characters, adrenaline-packed action and the inclusion of interesting facts and details.”:

Being a KZN girl, I thoroughly enjoyed reading such a fantastic thriller based in my part of the world! You wrote very knowledgably about St Lucia. That must have taken a great deal of research?

It did! Writing a convincing thriller is all about research and balancing – making the story convincing and the setting authentic while including fictional elements that do not exist in the real St Lucia and Richards Bay. It is the small details that make the difference and I was particularly fascinated by the amazing story of Huberta the hippo.
