Critically acclaimed Australian authors Laura Elizabeth Woollett and Mark Brandi shed light on sensitively shaping crime novels that depict the relationship between a parent and child, in conversation with Elizabeth McCarthy. Woollett’s The Newcomer is a delicately wrought story of a young woman’s murder, a mother’s grief, and the cascading aftermath of violence against women. Brandi’s The Others is a foreboding psychological drama involving an 11-year-old boy living with his survivalist father on a secluded farm.

Recorded for MWF in 2021.
