QBD Book Club: The Podcast

In our new episode of Crime Club, Victoria Carthew sits down with the wonderful Ali Lowe to discuss her brand-new book "The Second Wife".
This thrilling story is set on the Titan Pacifica - a luxury cruise liner on an eight-day voyage from Sydney to the South Pacific. On the exclusive Deck Nine, CEO Irving Fairchild celebrates his 70th birthday. It's a family affair: he's about to make a big announcement about his successor, and everyone around the table is hoping they be the chosen one. But when the news comes, it's not what they think. And although six embark on the journey of a lifetime, not all of the group will make it back to dry land again...

In our new episode of Crime Club, Victoria Carthew sits down with J.P. Pomare to discuss his brand-new book "The Gambler" 
PI Vince Reid is convinced he'll never work again. An explosive investigation has left him burned out and somewhat of a local celebrity. Strapped for cash and his anonymity dead in the water, he retreats to an old friend's farm to clear his head. At the farm, Reid is offered a case he can't refuse: Why did a respected local woman open fire at a political rally, killing a promising young university graduate? It's easy money, he's told. A sure thing. But as Reid delves further into the case, the stakes are higher than he imagined. There are invisible players pulling the strings. Will he walk away a winner or pay for the ultimate gamble with his life?
