We discuss chapters 12-23 of Michael Te Arawa Bennett's 'Return to Blood', the second novel in the Hana Westerman series. It would seem the killer has been revealed, but could it be so easy? Hana's investigation digs up clues as to the disappearance of Paige, 20 years ago, but can she link him to Kiri's recently found skeleton? And crucially, can she do it without committing crimes herself? Addison is drawn deeper into the world of Kiri Thomas, as a rift develops between her and definitely-not-lover Plus One.
We're also joined by Catherine du Peloux Menagé, the artistic director of BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival, to talk about some of this years' upcoming panels and themes.
Thank you to BAD Sydney and DMCPR for providing tickets to this year's festival to Death of the Reader.
