Interview #70 | Author T. Orr Monro Discusses Her Career as a CSI and Her CSI Ally Dymond Book Series

In this interview episode, I’m joined by T. Orr Monro.


Tina is a former Crime Scene Investigator, teacher, and now police journalist who had dreamed of becoming an author for as long as she can remember. That dream became a reality in 2020 when she was signed by HQ Stories for her crime series featuring a CSI named Ally Dymond.


Keen to shine a light on what happens behind the crime scene tape, Tina also chose to set her stories in North Devon, where she grew up. With its rugged shorelands and mysterious moorlands, North Devon becomes a character in its own right throughout her books.


Her debut novel Breakneck Point was published in 2022, followed by Slaughterhouse Farm in 2023. The third book in the series, Liars Island, was released in November 2024.
