Laughing with a Killer – Samantha Downing on TOO OLD FOR THIS
In this episode of the Fresh Fiction Podcast, host Samantha Tennant sits down with international bestselling author Samantha Downing to discuss her new novel, TOO OLD FOR THIS. What started as a writing experiment turned into an unforgettable character: Lottie, a retired serial killer dealing with aging, mobility issues, and modern technology—all while trouble keeps knocking at her door.
They talk about how humor balances the darkness, why readers connect with even the most unlikely protagonists, and the challenges of writing thrillers in an age of cell phones and constant surveillance. Plus, Samantha shares stories from her first Bouchercon experience, the importance of community for writers, and what she’s working on next.
If you love thrillers with sharp character work, escalating suspense, and plenty of wit, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
