The Hunter by Tana French

It's a blazing summer when two men arrive in a small village in the West of Ireland. One of them is coming home. Both of them are coming to get rich. One of them is going to die.

Private Equity by Carrie Sun

When we meet Carrie Sun, she can't shake the feeling that she's wasting her life. The daughter of Chinese immigrants, Carrie excelled in school, graduated early from MIT, and climbed the corporate ladder, all in pursuit of the American dream. But at twenty-nine, she's left her analyst job, dropped out of an MBA program, and is trapped in an unhappy engagement. So when she gets the rare opportunity to work at one of the most prestigious hedge funds in the world, she knows she can't say no. Fourteen interviews later, she's in.

Catherine Raynes: Reviewing The Hunter, Private Equity

With non-stop flights from Auckland, Doha is becoming an increasingly popular through-route for travellers on their way to Europe.

Mike Yardley dipped into the city, describing it as eclectic and exotic, with a real melting pot of cultures.

“It does intermingle well,” he told Jack Tame.

“You’ve got the fusion of cutting-edge modernity and timeless tradition all in one.”

Mike Yardley: A dip with Doha

The Cryptic Clue by Amanda Hampson 

In ZigZag Lane, in the heart of Sydney’s rag-trade district, tea ladies Hazel, Betty and Irene find themselves in hot water. Having already solved a murder, kidnapping and arson case, and outwitting an arch criminal, they have proved themselves a useful resource and earned the respect of a local police officer. Now he needs their help to solve a plot that threatens security.

As if that’s not enough, Irene gets a coded message directing her to the spoils of a bank robbery, which sends the tea ladies on a treasure hunt with an unexpected outcome.

There’s also trouble brewing within the walls of Empire Fashionwear, where an interloper threatens not just Hazel’s job but the very role of tea lady. It’s up to Hazel to convince her friends to abandon their trolleys and take action to save their livelihoods – before it’s too late.



The Everything War by Dana Mattioli

From veteran Amazon reporter for The Wall Street Journal, The Everything War is the first untold, devastating exposé of Amazon's endless strategic greed, from destroying Main Street to remaking corporate power, in pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary.

Catherine Raynes: The Cryptic Clue and The Everything War

A distinctive figure in the New Zealand musical landscape, Delaney Davidson has dropped yet another album.

Out of My Head has a more theatrical feel, co-producer Mark Perkins’ synth atmospheres creating a cinematic soundscape for the twelve-track album.

The album is filled with songs written over the global pandemic lockdown period, with notable guest appearances from Marlon Williams and Reb Fountain.

Despite the circumstances in which they were written, music reviewer Estelle Clifford told Jack Tame that there’s a kind of freedom and joy to a lot of the tunes.

“I love it,” she said, giving the album a 10/10.
