This week, I talk with Amy Suiter Clarke about her newest psychological thriller Lay Your Body Down. Follow Amy on InstagramLay Your Body Down SynopsisA young woman returns to her rural Minnesota hometown, where a radical evangelical pastor has poisoned everyone's minds—and may be covering up a murder. After Del Walker fled her small hometown and its cult-like church, she vowed to never return. The man she loved, Lars, left her to marry the local golden girl Eve, and their romance is now the focus of Eve's viral blog espousing the pastor's conservative philosophy about women and marriage. But six years later, Lars is suddenly killed, and she's convinced it couldn't have been an accident.When Del returns to her hometown for the funeral, she discovers the now mega-church—and the insidious, patriarchal teachings of Pastor Rick Franklin—has grown not only in size but in influence. Eve was clearly discontent in her marriage, despite the carefully constructed “Noble Wife” positivity of her blog posts, and Del knows better than anyone just how far she will go to get what she wants. Del is determined to cut through the church's lies and corruption to find out who killed Lars—even if it means confronting the religious trauma she's spent years trying to bury.

Amy Suiter Clarke is the author of Girl 11. Del swore she'd never return. But years after she left Bower and the Messiah Church Del finds herself drawn back into its orbit by a mysterious message from her ex Lars. Del also swore she'd never talk to Lars again after he left her for her friend Eve, but now Lars sounds contrite. Before Del has the chance to call Lars back though she discovers he's been killed. The press are calling it a tragic accident but Del knows better about Messiah and how they always protect their own. Lay Your Body Down is at turns a mystery and a thriller. The reader travels alongside Del as she returns to her hometown and into the hostile arms of the extended church she fled after high school. Within the world of the Messiah it's all ‘nothing to see here' and we must take Del at face value that the church is an insidious threat. At its core Messiah church and the teachings of its charismatic Pastor Rick are fairly stock standard evangelical stuff. The twist here though is a regressive sense of gendered duty that compels women in the church to go above and beyond in a doctrine they call ‘Noble Wife'. ‘Noble Wife' compels the women of the church into extremes of purity and is spearheaded by Del's best friend Eve. Eve has written a blog about the Noble Wife teachings that exported the smalltown doctrine around the world. The same Eve who stole Del's boyfriend and is why Del can't believe this is all just a simple accident. Off-balance is one way to describe the experience of reading Lay Your Body Down. We meet Del and she is off-balance in life. It's a state we come to understand has been her normal since she left Bower and her entire life in Messiah. Del's state of personal and social vertigo follows her as she tries to investigate Lars' death. We quickly learn it's one thing to have suspicions and another entirely to prove them (or even get others to believe they might be true). Del's uncertainty at the truth of her case mirrors the social unease she feels ostracized from her church. Even if she was no longer able to follow their misogynistic doctrines that doesn't mean she knows how to exist in a world outside of the church's oppressive embrace. The novel is terrifically terrifying because even as we are rooting for Del to solve the mystery at the heart of Lars' death we understand that it may just lead her to lose so much more. The spiritual death she felt when she left Messiah the first time is visited on her again and again making her constantly doubt herself. As we follow Del on her quest we come to view in its full horror the methods and means of control exercised on all the women at Messiah. Lay Your Body Down may ostensibly be about the death of one man but it comes to reveal a much darker and deeper violence being perpetrated.   This was a real page turner and got me as much with its social commentary as its whodunnit style.

Minnesota-born and raised and now Australian based author Amy Suiter Clarke's debut book Girl, 11 has a podcaster at the heart of the story - a former social worker called Elle Castillio who is determined to solve a serial killing case where each victim is a year younger than the last. It's so believable you'd think it was a true life podcast. BOOK SYNOPSISElle Castillo once trained as a social worker, supporting young victims of violent crime. Now she hosts a popular true crime podcast that focuses on cold cases of missing or murdered children.After four seasons of successfully solving these cases in Minnesota's Twin Cities, Elle decides to tackle her white whale: The Countdown Killer. Twenty years ago, TCK terrorized the community, kidnapping and ritualistically murdering three girls over seven days, each a year younger than the last. But after he took his eleven-year-old victim, the pattern—and the murders—abruptly stopped. No one has ever known why.When Elle follows up on a listener tip only to discover the man's dead body, she feels at fault. Then, within days, a child is abduct­ed—a young girl who seems to fit suspicious­ly into the TCK sequence. While media and law enforcement long ago concluded that TCK was dead, Elle has never believed it. She had hoped her investigation would lay that suspicion to rest, but instead, her podcast seems to be creating new victims.

Justice Delayed – Der Fall des Countdown-Killers

Einundzwanzig. Sieben. Drei. Diese Zahlen kommen immer und immer wieder vor in der Mordserie des Countdown-Killers, und zwar so oft, dass es auffällt, wenn sie es nicht tun. Es war schon immer merkwürdig, dass er seine Mordserie mit einem zwanzigjährigen Opfer begonnen haben soll, wenn er doch von der Zahl einundzwanzig besessen ist. Endlich stößt Elle auf eine Spur, die sie zu CKs allererstem Opfer führt …

Justice Delayed – Der Fall des Countdown-Killers

Im Abstand von drei Tagen sind erneut zwei Mädchen verschwunden und sie haben beide genau das richtige Alter. Elle ist sich sicher: Der Countdown-Killer ist zurück und setzt seine grausame Mordserie fort. Und er kommt Elle immer näher …

Justice Delayed – Der Fall des Countdown-Killers

Dies ist eine ganz besondere Podcast-Folge, denn Nora Watson hat eingewilligt, hier ihre Geschichte zu erzählen. Im Alter von elf Jahren wurde sie vom Countdown-Killer entführt, konnte ihm aber entkommen und stoppte so seine Mordserie. Nora hat seit ihrer Jugend keine Interviews mehr gegeben und lebt heute unter einem anderen Namen. Sie hat eingewilligt, ihr jahrzehntelanges Schweigen zu brechen, weil sie hofft, dass ihre Erinnerungen dazu beitragen können, den immer noch flüchtigen Serienmörder zu finden, der ihr die Kindheit geraubt hat – und um ein Haar das Leben.

Justice Delayed – Der Fall des Countdown-Killers

Die Behörden haben die Suche nach dem Countdown-Killer aufgegeben. Sie warten, bis neue Hinweise ans Licht kommen. Da meldet sich bei Elle eine Forensikerin: An der Leiche des 14-jährigen Opfers Carissa Jacobs war damals ein langes Haar entdeckt worden. Aufgrund neuer Analysemethoden kann sie nun sagen, dass dieses Haar zu der verkohlten Frauenleiche in der Blockhütte gehörte, in der CK die Mädchen gefangen hielt. Doch wer war diese Frau?

Justice Delayed – Der Fall des Countdown-Killers

Fast genau ein Jahr ist seit der letzten Mordserie vergangen, da verschwindet die zwölfjährige Jessica Elerson. Und der Countdown hätte ewig so weitergehen können. Aber das ist noch nicht das Ende der Geschichte, weil das nächste Opfer nicht vom Countdown-Killer getötet wurde. Eleanor Watson ist ihm entkommen.

Justice Delayed – Der Fall des Countdown-Killers

Nach den ersten Morden scheint die Serie endlich zum Erliegen zu kommen. Ein Jahr lang werden keine weiteren Leichen gefunden und die Öffentlichkeit in Minneapolis kommt langsam wieder zur Ruhe. Doch dann verschwindet Lilian Davies – und passt mit ihren 15 Jahren genau ins Profil des Killers. Und das ist nur der traurige Beginn einer neuen Mordserie …

Justice Delayed – Der Fall des Countdown-Killers

Seit Langem beschäftigt True-Crime-Podcasterin Elle Castillo ein alter Fall, der sich vor über 20 Jahren in ihrer Heimatstadt Minneapolis zugetragen hat und nie aufgeklärt wurde. Elle will Gerechtigkeit für die Opfer und nimmt den spektakulären Fall des Countdown-Killers wieder auf. Wird ihr gelingen, woran die Polizei damals scheiterte?

Vor knapp vierundzwanzig Jahren verschwand in Minneapolis eine junge Frau namens Beverly Anderson. Sieben Tage nach ihrem Verschwinden wurde sie ermordet aufgefunden. Kurz darauf wurde eine weitere tote junge Frau entdeckt, auf dieselbe Art gestorben wie Beverly. Und sie ist nicht das letzte Opfer. Die Ermittler kamen bald dem Muster des Täters auf die Spur: Er entführte immer drei junge Frauen, im Abstand von drei Tagen. Jede ein Jahr jünger als die andere, jede innerhalb von sieben Tagen tot. Bis sein zehntes Opfer entkam. Die Serie brach ab, der Killer konnte nie gefasst werden. True-Crime-Podcasterin Elle Castillo will Gerechtigkeit für die Opfer und nimmt den spektakulären Fall des Countdown-Killers Jahre später wieder auf. Wird ihr gelingen, woran die Polizei damals scheiterte? Dieser Podcast basiert auf dem Roman »Der Countdown-Killer – Nur du kannst ihn finden« von Amy Suiter Clarke, aus dem amerikanischen Englisch von Birgit Schmitz, erschienen bei FISCHER Scherz.
