I’m going to sound like an estate agent when I say, ‘Location, location, location!’

One of the many reasons I love writing thrillers is that I get to research and, whenever possible, visit the locations of my novels. If you want a dramatic action scene, yes there needs to be exciting and credible action, but the location can make it even more dangerous and even more breath-taking.

I’ve been working on a new thriller series with an investigative journalist central character, Olivia Wolfe. Resourceful and brave, a champion of those who cannot speak out for themselves, she travels the world to uncover corruption, conspiracies and heinous crimes. So here are some images that have inspired this new thriller. If you know these places, please let me know on LA Larkin Facebook or LALarkinAuthor Twitter. I’d love to hear from you!
