Maggie Giles keeps the mystery going with “Wicked”

Our next guest was last on the show in October 2023 for her mystery thriller “Twisted” and now, Maggie Giles is back with “Wicked,” the new title in the series, out on April 22.

While the mystery behind the robbery and murders in “Twisted” was uncovered a few months back, there is still a very large loose thread that Detective Ryan Boone desperately wishes to tie up. He convinces his superiors to allow him to travel to Ottawa, where he’s uncovered a lead into a conspiracy that hints what happened in Toronto has nationwide and horrific implications. 

Meanwhile, former detective Cora Porter has moved to forensics, but when a strange case involving a murder, a runaway and a case of mistaken identity hits close to home, she squeezes her way into the investigation. It also doesn’t help that a certain visiting detective has caught her eye, and is also willing to work with her on the case.

Maggie talks about the ‘loose thread’ that ties the two books together and what sends Boone to Ottawa. We go into the new mystery of “Wicked” and learn about antagonist Blaine Roche and how they’re able to keep ahead of the detectives. Maggie shares how she devised the crimes of the new book and how she gets into the head of a criminal mastermind.
