Episode 8: 2020 Emma Viskic & Matthew Spencer

On the podcast today we speak to two exceptional Australian crime writers. 

Emma Viskic is author of the internationally acclaimed Caleb Zelic series. Her novels have won numerous prizes, including a Ned Kelly Award and an unprecedented five Davitt Awards.  We hear about Those Who Perish which concludes the Caleb Zelic series.

Then we chat to debut novelist Matthew Spencer whose novel Black River takes us to a  long, burning summer in Sydney where a young woman was found murdered in the deserted grounds of an elite boarding school.   A serial killer preying on victims along the banks of the Parramatta River. 

And of course we find out what our staff have been reading with some great book reviews:

Someone Else's Child by Kylie Orr
The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
The Murder Rule by Dervla McTiernan
The Wild Place by Christian White
This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger
