It was imprinted within her very core, her DNA, a part of every cell in her body. Kat's children are both smart and well-adjusted. On the outside. Kat has always tried to treat Imogen and Jemima equally, but she struggles with one of her daughters more than the other. Because Imogen's birth mother is a serial killer. And Imogen doesn't know. They say you can't choose your family, but what if your family chooses you?

Episode SummaryWe introduce ‘The Somerton Man' case, or the ‘Tamam Shud' case: the mystery of a man found on a beach in Adelaide in 1948.  He was smartly dressed with a lot of intriguing clues including no identification and a piece of a book hidden within his clothing. This case has never been solved to this day, although it has attracted an awful lot of attention. There is lots of information and speculation about this case which we look into during this episode. We utilise our Aussie host's knowledge of Adelaide, which is actually her hometown. She tells us what it’s like there (leading us to wonder why she lives here), and why Adelaide is touted as the murder capital of the world...even though it’s not.  We also find out that Victoria wanted to be a spy.   Show notes and linksDiscuss the show on Twitter using #CrimeGirlGang ABC News: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-14/somerton-man-cold-case-could-be-one-step-closer-to-solved/9245512?pfmredir=sm  Adelaide Now: https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/has-part-of-the-mysterious-somerton-man-code-been-cracked/news-story/3951eef52092ee56916aeefbc1b7007b Decoding the cipher: https://www.marcelvarallo.com/decoding-the-somerton-man-cypher/  This whole blog is dedicated to the Somerton Man case: https://tamamshud.blogspot.com/ Cipher mysteries: https://ciphermysteries.com/2017/06/10/rubaiyat-car-theory  Professor Derek Abbott's AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/2f1qt0/i_am_professor_derek_abbott_a_researcher_of_the/ ABC News: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-15/why-cant-adelaide-bury-murderous-capital-reputation/9249142 Jane Harper - The Dry: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01C37W582/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1  Autopsy report overview: https://www.archives.sa.gov.au/blog/%E2%80%9C-what-poison%E2%80%9D-mystery-somerton-man Rubaiyat - Omar Khayyam: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rub%C3%A1iy%C3%A1t-Omar-Khayy%C3%A1m-Wordsworth-Classics/dp/1853261874 McCarthyism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism Reddit clue: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/951z0k/somerton_man_the_most_important_clue/ Ear pictures for comparison: https://tamamshud.blogspot.com/2016/11/somerton-man-ear-comparison-detailed.html  Visit the Crime Girl Gang website for case photos and more Read Blood for Blood by Victoria Selman Pre-order Nothing to Lose by Victoria Selman Read I, Witness by Niki Mackay Pre-order The Lies We Tell by Niki Mackay Read The Guilty Wife by Elle Croft Read The Other Sister by Elle Croft

Crime Girl Gang is a true crime podcast in which three crime writers examine mysterious cold cases and then ‘solve’ them from a fictional perspective. Crime Girl Gang is hosted by Victoria Selman (author of Blood for Blood, out February 2019), Niki Mackay (author of I, Witness, out now, and The Lies We Tell, out March 2019) and Elle Croft (author of The Guilty Wife and The Other Sister, both out now).  Think Castle meets Serial with a friends on the sofa feel. In Season 1 (airing on Jan 7th) we’ll be examining three different true crime cases from around the world. Then we’ll put on our writers’ hats and have a go at solving them for ourselves. SEASON 1 OF CRIME GIRL GANG TRUE CRIME CASE #1: THE ANGEL IN THE MEADOW (UK) Five years ago, construction workers in Manchester city centre happened upon the remains of a murder victim from the 1970s. Despite a widespread appeal for information, the victim still hasn’t been identified and her killer hasn’t been brought to justice. TRUE CRIME CASE #2: THE MURDER OF BETTY GAIL BROWN (US) Unsolved for 56 years, the murder of university student, Betty Gail Brown is one of the country’s most notorious cold cases. Betty was found in her car after a late night study session, strangled to death with her own bra. But no-one (not even the man who confessed to her murder and was later found not guilty) appears to have had a motive for killing her.  TRUE CRIME CASE #3: THE MYSTERY OF THE SOMERTON MAN (AUSTRALIA) In 1948, a man was found dead on a beach near Adelaide. In his pocket was a scrap of paper torn from a book. On it was the Persian phrase taman shud (meaning ended or finished.) The case attracted intense international attention, not least because of the possible involvement of a secret code at a time of heightening Cold War tensions. Yet despite help over the years from both the FBI and Scotland Yard, the victim has never been identified- and the cause of death has never been conclusively proven.

Host Carrie A. Mitchell talks to Elle Croft; London-based travel blogger, social media consultant and author of "The Guilty Wife". She can usually be found with her nose in a book and a cup of strong coffee in her hand, or plotting her next travel adventure. We discuss her Australian background, living in Canada and England, her travel tips, and her new best-selling debut book. Countries discussed: England, Australia, South Africa, Canada, USA, Morocco

In this week's episode I'm chatting with Elle Croft, a social media manager, blogger and published author. I really enjoyed finding out more about her story, about how not going to university propelled her to look for other ways to prove herself, how blogging helped her to write her debut novel, The Guilty Wife, and what the process of writing and having a novel published was actually like. 

It's where it's at! The Two Crime Writers talk about libraries closing, the importance of visiting them, and the intensity of Karl Ove Knausgaard.  Noelle Holten reviews books from Elle Croft and Matt Wesolowski. Special guest is Mark Hill, who talks about book title changes, doing book events, and much more. Credits: Produced by Twenty Inches of Monkey Productions Music by Stuart Neville

In todays episode, Elle Croft and I spontaneously recorded our chat about the perils of leaving a good review for something you didn't enjoy and why your readers will never trust you again if you do!

We explore a few things you can do, and give you a good example of what not to do too! Find ME on Twitter & Instagram @wanderluceblog and my website http://wanderluce.com L x
