Meet The Likely Suspects team: Jess

The Likely Suspects team member Jess is a Cluedo queen with a passion for The Walking Dead. Find out more about TLS's resident PR guru as she goes under the spotlight to answer our quickfire questions...

Favourite TV detective?
Endeavour 
 

Favourite sidekick (TV/Book/Movie)?
Hathaway from Lewis 

 

If you were a character, would you be more likely to be the detective or the criminal?

Definitely a detective, but more of a systematic plodder than a deep thinker with inspired hunches. Also I’m too chicken to commit crimes, which is a basic requirement… 
 

Book you’d kill to get back if it was stolen?
Probably Ann Cleeves Shetland series, starting with Raven Black
 

Which crime/thriller character would you most like to have a drink with?
Either Vera, or Tony Hill from Val McDermid’s Wire in the Blood series. I’d love to know how a profiler works.
 

Podcasts or music?
Definitely music, the opening bars to Barrington Pheloungs Morse/Endeavour theme gets me every time. Also the sheer volume of podcasts out there intimidates me and I have no clue where to start! 
 

Cluedo or Monopoly?
Cluedo all day long. We have an ancient board which is basically falling apart but I wont replace it!   
 

What are you most looking forward to watching/reading/listening to next month?
Final season of The Walking Dead (YES I fully invested in all 3000 seasons…), Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix, Our House on ITV and (ahem) Bridgerton… 
 

What are you reading at the moment?
The third novel from Russ Thomas, Cold Reckoning
