Vanessa Lillie joins us to talk about Blood Sisters, a powerful thriller inspired by a real-life crime near her hometown and the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women whose cases too often go unsolved. She opens up about tackling serious, real-world issues with empathy and grit, shining a light on the complexities—both good and bad—around the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and why Indigenous crime rates are heartbreakingly higher than the national average. Vanessa also shares how she uses humor to bring levity and drive suspense in even the darkest stories.
