Speaker 1: from News Talks.

00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:15,773
Speaker 2: AB Time to Capture with our book reviewer Katherine rains Gelder.

4
00:00:16,173 --> 00:00:19,693
Speaker 2: Morning Jack, you got two fantastic reads for us this morning,

5
00:00:19,693 --> 00:00:21,613
Speaker 2: two great books to recommend. Let's start off with the

6
00:00:21,653 --> 00:00:24,653
Speaker 2: latest from Richard Osmond tell us about We Solve Murders.

7
00:00:25,413 --> 00:00:28,413
Speaker 3: So this is a new detective series from him. So

8
00:00:28,533 --> 00:00:30,853
Speaker 3: he's the author of The Thursday Murder Club, which is

9
00:00:30,893 --> 00:00:35,333
Speaker 3: gaining real traction as a great series. And in this series,

10
00:00:35,373 --> 00:00:37,933
Speaker 3: though you had met Steve Wheeler. He's a retired cop,

11
00:00:38,213 --> 00:00:40,373
Speaker 3: does a bit of local investigation. He's very good at

12
00:00:40,373 --> 00:00:42,733
Speaker 3: pub quizzz. He's a bit of a puzzle expert, loves

13
00:00:42,773 --> 00:00:45,293
Speaker 3: a good point. He's still grieving the fact that his

14
00:00:45,373 --> 00:00:47,733
Speaker 3: wife Devi died a couple of years ago, and he

15
00:00:47,773 --> 00:00:49,853
Speaker 3: has this great bond with his daughter in law, a

16
00:00:49,893 --> 00:00:53,133
Speaker 3: woman called Amy. And Amy's quite an unusual character. She

17
00:00:53,173 --> 00:00:56,093
Speaker 3: works in private security and she's a very experienced bodyguard

18
00:00:56,133 --> 00:00:59,253
Speaker 3: and she protects highly important people. And she's very calm

19
00:00:59,333 --> 00:01:02,173
Speaker 3: and very calculating, and she's very good at keeping her

20
00:01:02,173 --> 00:01:05,373
Speaker 3: emotions at bay. And she's currently working on a private

21
00:01:05,453 --> 00:01:08,693
Speaker 3: island off the coast of South Carolina and she's guarding

22
00:01:08,773 --> 00:01:12,253
Speaker 3: an author author, a woman called Rosie, and then a

23
00:01:12,253 --> 00:01:14,693
Speaker 3: dead body washes up with a bag of money. It's

24
00:01:14,693 --> 00:01:17,493
Speaker 3: found on the yacht and Amy starts to get involved

25
00:01:17,493 --> 00:01:19,253
Speaker 3: in this, and she calls her father in law, Steve,

26
00:01:19,293 --> 00:01:21,293
Speaker 3: for help, and they end up on this trip around

27
00:01:21,293 --> 00:01:23,933
Speaker 3: the world. Rosie's trying to help out as well. They're

28
00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:26,173
Speaker 3: trying to solve some murders. So they're in South Carolina

29
00:01:26,213 --> 00:01:30,493
Speaker 3: and England, Saint Lachera in Ireland, and Shubai and all

30
00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:33,013
Speaker 3: sorts of things are going on. There's social media influences,

31
00:01:33,053 --> 00:01:35,933
Speaker 3: there's money laundering. Amy looks like she's about to be

32
00:01:35,973 --> 00:01:38,973
Speaker 3: framed for murder and there's a target on her back.

33
00:01:39,093 --> 00:01:43,093
Speaker 3: But it is a really delightful read. The characters lovable,

34
00:01:43,173 --> 00:01:46,653
Speaker 3: even the kind of obnoxious ones. That's not overly complicated,

35
00:01:46,693 --> 00:01:48,733
Speaker 3: and there're one or two twists, but it's just one

36
00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:52,653
Speaker 3: of those very well written cozy murder type books, and

37
00:01:52,773 --> 00:01:54,853
Speaker 3: Richard Osmond does it superbly well.

38
00:01:55,013 --> 00:01:57,933
Speaker 2: Nice. Okay, next up a book I know will have

39
00:01:58,053 --> 00:02:00,133
Speaker 2: had a lot of hype and we'll have many of

40
00:02:00,133 --> 00:02:04,853
Speaker 2: our listeners extremely excited. The latest from Leanne Mariarty. She

41
00:02:04,893 --> 00:02:07,893
Speaker 2: have big little lives fame tell us about here one moment.

42
00:02:08,893 --> 00:02:11,533
Speaker 3: So in this she looks at free will and destiny

43
00:02:11,573 --> 00:02:15,453
Speaker 3: and grief and that struggle to maintain certainly and control

44
00:02:15,573 --> 00:02:19,533
Speaker 3: in a very uncertain world. And it's a very unusual mystery.

45
00:02:19,533 --> 00:02:23,093
Speaker 3: It's got the mystical, the dramatic, and lots of philosophical

46
00:02:23,093 --> 00:02:26,533
Speaker 3: elements in it. And it starts with this woman who

47
00:02:26,573 --> 00:02:29,613
Speaker 3: you don't really know her age, and she doesn't stand

48
00:02:29,613 --> 00:02:32,413
Speaker 3: out from the crowd. And all of a sudden there's

49
00:02:32,453 --> 00:02:35,813
Speaker 3: this delayed flight from Sydney to Hobart and she stands

50
00:02:35,893 --> 00:02:38,853
Speaker 3: up and she counts to three and she begins to

51
00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:42,453
Speaker 3: predict the dying age and cause of death for each passenger,

52
00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:47,253
Speaker 3: which is completely unnerving for the passengers. And she tells

53
00:02:47,253 --> 00:02:50,693
Speaker 3: this beautiful Indian flight attendant allegre that she will die

54
00:02:50,733 --> 00:02:53,053
Speaker 3: at the age of twenty eight from south harm And

55
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:56,773
Speaker 3: she tells another woman that her child will learn live

56
00:02:56,813 --> 00:02:59,813
Speaker 3: to one hundred, and another lady that her little boy

57
00:02:59,853 --> 00:03:03,373
Speaker 3: will die from the age of seven. And this middle

58
00:03:03,413 --> 00:03:06,533
Speaker 3: aged couple, Sue and Max, are shocked because Max is

59
00:03:06,533 --> 00:03:09,013
Speaker 3: going to live into his nineties. And Sue is told

60
00:03:09,013 --> 00:03:11,813
Speaker 3: that she'll die from pink creatic cancer despite being a

61
00:03:11,893 --> 00:03:15,173
Speaker 3: nurse who looks after herself. And so then you try

62
00:03:15,213 --> 00:03:17,773
Speaker 3: to work out who this very unusual woman is, and

63
00:03:17,813 --> 00:03:21,813
Speaker 3: she's called Cherry, and people are wondering what if she

64
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:25,773
Speaker 3: accurately predicted the exact dates and causes of people's death.

65
00:03:26,173 --> 00:03:28,893
Speaker 3: And then three people die as she predicted, and the

66
00:03:28,933 --> 00:03:32,733
Speaker 3: remaining passengers on the plane become increasingly nervous. You know,

67
00:03:32,853 --> 00:03:35,893
Speaker 3: should Leo kind of quit his job and should allegracy

68
00:03:36,653 --> 00:03:39,853
Speaker 3: psychological help and should pull to teach her son to

69
00:03:39,973 --> 00:03:43,213
Speaker 3: swim because she'd predicted that he was going to die drowning.

70
00:03:43,413 --> 00:03:46,773
Speaker 3: And you also get Sherry's story, and she's quirky and

71
00:03:46,853 --> 00:03:49,333
Speaker 3: this connection with her dad and her psychic mother, and

72
00:03:49,373 --> 00:03:53,333
Speaker 3: she's very eccentric in this situation that led her to

73
00:03:53,413 --> 00:03:55,933
Speaker 3: them calling her the death Lady as she makes these predictions.

74
00:03:55,973 --> 00:03:59,013
Speaker 3: And it's a very thought provoking novel and different choices

75
00:03:59,053 --> 00:04:02,253
Speaker 3: in parts that our lives take and those interactions about

76
00:04:02,293 --> 00:04:04,013
Speaker 3: the things that we can control and the things that

77
00:04:04,053 --> 00:04:07,613
Speaker 3: we can't. But yeah, it's quite a shock. She rolls

78
00:04:07,653 --> 00:04:10,013
Speaker 3: onto the Paine and she starts talking about their lives.

79
00:04:10,093 --> 00:04:13,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, superb Okay, that sounds great. So that's from

80
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:16,733
Speaker 2: Leanne Moriarty. It's called Here One Moment. And that first

81
00:04:16,773 --> 00:04:19,453
Speaker 2: book is by Richard Osman. It's called We Solve Murders.
