Did I 'fridge' Catherine Ashford?

from The Illustrated Clockwork Dispatch Podcast Hosted by Gordon Johnson ~ Author

Catherine dies early, and on the surface that could look like a classic “fridging” setup ~ a woman is killed so that the protagonists have something to investigate. But the novel deliberately gives her agency before, during and after her death. My first podcast discusses this concept and my approach to writing her. I hope you enjoy.
