Mixed Messages Extra: Win a copy of All Us Sinners by Katy Massey
Hi, welcome to Mixed Messages Extra! This week, we’re giving you the chance to win a copy of Katy Massey’s new crime novel, All Us Sinners.
Katy was one of Mixed Messages’ first ever interviewees, speaking to me back in 2020. She spoke about finding identity within herself and said something that has stuck with me ever since:
“I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with a language around identity that wasn’t invented for us. I think it’s important not to define myself according to labels white supremacy has made to identify us.”
In her crime debut, Katy takes us to Leeds, 1977, where sex workers are being murdered by a serial killer called the ‘Ripper.’
Tough, sharp, but tender, Maureen runs Rio's, a clean, discreet brothel in the city. She's a good boss who takes great care of her workers - especially her best girls, Bev and Anette. The Ripper may be terrifying girls who work the street, but at Rio's the girls seem safer.
But when Bev's sweet-natured son is found beaten to death, a figure from Maureen's past, DS Mick Hunniford, shows up at her door. Does his arrival herald danger or salvation? And who can Maureen really trust?
Gripped? Here’s how to win a copy of this dangerous tale.
