The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: voicesoftoday.net/find Find Me Detective Rhiannon McVee Crime Mystery Series, Book 1 By Melissa Pouliot Narrated by Elizabeth Chambers It is 1988 in Australia and people are missing. And when one goes missing, many more are lost. In outback Queensland, quiet and reserved teenager Leesa Richards disappears silently from her bedroom into the fog early one morning. Then cowboy Toby White leaves his pregnant wife Alice in a cloud of dust and mystery, never to be seen again. A world away, in the hustling inner city suburbs of Sydney, rebellious teenager Keely Johnson forms an elaborate plan to escape her boring suburban life and trade it for the excitement and glamour of the streets of Kings Cross. The only child of southwest Queensland sheep pastoralists, Rhiannon McVee has her eyes firmly set on swapping her cowboy boots for police-issue brogues. But with her parents and the love of her life Mac pressuring her to stay close to home, will her quest to find the missing be over before it begins? From the harsh isolated Australian outback to the dangerous underbelly of Kings Cross, Rhiannon learns the hard way that when so many slip through the cracks, finding them is never as easy as it seems. And that when you leave the people you love, you might lose them forever. Find Me is a mix of crime and a delicate touch of outback romance, inspired by the author's own personal missing persons tragedy. If you love Australian mystery and crime thrillers by Jane Harper (The Dry) and Candice Fox (Troppo), you'll love the Detective Rhiannon McVee crime mystery series by bestselling Australian author Melissa Pouliot.

Jane Harper joins Carol Fitzgerald from her office in Australia to talk about The Survivors, her latest thriller. Setting has a strong influence on Jane's thriller work, and she talked about exploring Tasmania as part of her research process. Humorously, the setting had Carol looking at maps and confessing that she had no idea where Tasmania was in reference to Australia and New Zealand. They also talked about how Jane develops her plot and characters. And yes, Carol asked about the survivor statues that figure in the book. While this is Jane's fourth novel, it's the first that Carol has read; she jokes that she has some catching up to do. Right after they talked, the news was revealed that The Survivors hit #2 on the New York Times bestseller list! Also, for fans of The Dry, Carol asked Jane about the movie adaptation, which was recently released in Australia.

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
