On this week’s show we feature an interview with author Jacqueline Bublitz .She chats with Conrad Browne about her novel ‘Before You Knew My Name’, her debut novel that came out earlier this year and has gained critical acclaim and commercial success across the globe. This beautiful and captivating story tells the tale of two women, Ruby and Alice, and their trauma, connection and our cultural obsession with dead girls. But, this is not just another novel about a dead girl. Giving a voice to the voiceless, Before You Knew My Name doesn't ask whodunnit. Instead, this powerful, hopeful novel asks: Who was she? And what did she leave behind?

 

We also have ‘Reader recommended’ where Joy recommends author Michael Palmer. She says his books are edge of your exciting and she loved listening to ‘The First Patient’ by him. The synopsis: A country doctor in the USA is called into the Whitehouse to attend the president who appears to have “gone mad”. The doctor and the president were old college buddies but have not been in contact for years. The doctor is plunged into a world of conspiracy and intrigue. There are quite a few of his books in the collection; all medical thrillers.

Bob recommend the author Boris Akunin and his series centred on detective Erast Fandorin, who solves crimes in Tzsarist Russia moving through to the Bolshevik Revolution

Bob loved ‘The State Councellor’ but if you want to start with the first in the series, ‘The Winter Queen’
