Edna Buchanan on the Charlie Rose Show



Edna  Buchanan had a great interview about her new book, "Act of betrayal". She explains to Mr.Rose about her history as a crime reporter as well as a novelist. Missing some of the aspects of crime reporting she likes that she can pick up and write her book when she wants. 

  • Became a piece of the furniture, always there they expected her to just always there. 
  • Chose her characters in her books based on what she wants to be. Edna feels that she is person that takes notes not actions, the girl in her book is a woman of action. 
  • Edna feels act of betrayal is the best book she has ever written.

"There is no better creature than a good cop, no worse scum of the earth than a bad cop. On the same day they can be the same cop, they are only human."

"A good reporter on the police beat can be a victims best friend, putting it in the news paper works sometimes you feel like wonder woman or superman to the rescue."

Britt Montero is a wonderful character that she looks forward to doing many more books on.
