Discover the gripping second installment in Johanna Mo's internationally bestselling The Island Murders series: perfect for fans of Ragnar Jonasson and Ann Cleeves. When Jenny Ahlström returns from a weekend away to find her husband, Thomas, and their toddler, Hugo, missing, Detective Hanna Duncker fears the worst. If the young boy is still alive out there, he may not be for much longer. Though the small island is teeming with volunteer search parties, not every local has Hugo's safety in mind. And an estranged adult daughter is only one of the troubling secrets Thomas has been hiding from his wife. In the shadow of Hugo's case, an unsettling truth about the murder committed by Hanna's own father begins to take shape—something not only dark but potentially dangerous.

But now, here's Catherine. Introducing thriller author Catherine Lea Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Catherine and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Catherine Lea: Thank you so much for having me. It's great to be there with you. Catherine Lea - Page-turning thriller writer Jenny Wheeler: It's wonderful, almost a novelty to have a fellow New Zealander. I don't deliberately choose or not choose Kiwis. I choose people who fit the books we're doing, but it's lovely to have somebody who's writing those books in New Zealand.  Catherine Lea: Thank you. That's why I decided to write the books in New Zealand. I've got some set in the States. When I started writing – I put my first book out in 2013 – somebody said, don't set them in New Zealand for goodness sake, nobody will ever read them. Set them in the States. So that's what I did. And of course, then the process began. I decided to set a politically based thriller and boy, their politics are quite different to ours. It was such a lot of research. I thought, you know what? I know far more about New Zealand. We have got such an amazing country, such diverse cultures, so much flavor, so much brilliance and the country is so beautiful. Why not set them here? Jenny Wheeler: To backtrack a bit, you write thrillers with heart, as your website says, and you have done several international page-turners. We will get to those a little later on because they are worth talking about, but your latest book, the one we're focusing on because it has just come out, is called The Water's Dead. It's a police procedural set in the far north of New Zealand where you live. Writing a police procedural a new game That is a bit of a change for you, and it's good to get in right at the beginning and talk a little bit about why you it made that.

J.C. Paulson thinks a mystery can — perhaps should — also be a love story. Switching from fact (journalism) to fiction, it seemed a natural thing to combine the two. Evil versus good. Hate versus love. Think Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, and a host of cozy mystery couples — not that her first four novels, Adam's Witness, Broken Through, Fire Lake and Griffin's Cure, are all that cozy. A rabid reader of mystery novels, J.C. Paulson has long admired the works of Dorothy Sayers, P.D. James, Louise Penny and Ann Cleeves. She lives in a rambling bungalow on a quiet street in Saskatoon, Canada with her husband, Ken, a goldsmith. She therefore wears tiny golden replicas of her murder weapons around her neck. https://www.jcpaulsonwriter.com/ VOX VOMITUS: Sometimes, it's not what goes right in the writing process, it's what goes horribly wrong.
