Coming home was just the beginning... Kate Hamer follows up her taut psychological blockbuster The Girl in the Red Coat with an equally engrossing sequel, The Lost Girls. Carmel has been returned home five years after she was abducted by the preacher of a cult. But the trauma of her experience continues to haunt her and and her mother Beth. Beth is paralysed by fear for her daughter while Carmel is tortured by the knowledge that she wasn't the only girl to go missing and further dismayed that she must confront the preacher in order to uncover the truth. @Radio_Gorgeous @kate_hamer @FaberBooks #TheLostGirls

“Find the rooms and the conversations and the friendships and the love affairs, where that intuition can blossom into inquiry. You can deliberately choose the risks you want to face and that you're resourced when life blind sides. Dr. Kate Hamer touches on the importance of dialogue and reflects on questions the world is asking of us. How can we respond? Each of us wakes up and rises from our beds. “We take ourselves; we throw ourselves; we trip and stumble into the wider world”. Existential analysis is a process supporting that dialogue. “ Through Care Sleeves, Kate explored the possibility of others to explore how to create something that could be worn, washed safely and reworn. Through her LinkedIn network, she connected with three innovators who between them have over a century and a half industrial experience – the result - a polyester garment milled in England that can be washed up to 50 times. This will be comfortable and reassuring for healthcare workers to wear which can withstand the demands that contaminated environments pose.
This week on CUTalks, we are talking to Kate Hamer and Louis Saha, co-founders of AxisStars - a business which connects sports and entertainment stars with select partners via a mobile app. Louis is a former professional footballer and played for Fulham, Everton and Manchester United amongst others, whilst Kate has vast experience in the marketing world and has her own marketing and digital consulting company. We discussed how Louis and Kate met and how they were each able to utilise their previous experiences when it came to building the platform. They also shared lessons they’ve learnt along the way and the impact of mentors on their careers. This podcast was produced by Carl Homer, Cambridge TV.
Harriett Gilbert talks to Dom Joly and Kate Hamer about their favourite books.
Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air. The opening lines of Macbeth could also set the scene in Bath for three adolescent girls bound or intent? on: "double toil and trouble!" Each of Kate Hamer's books (The Girl in the Red Coat & The Doll Funeral) starts with a strong image. Crushed, which takes place in crucible shaped Bath and its ancient bubbling, sulphurous core, snuck up on Kate, much like the angels climbing Bath Abbey but when it came, the central image was a body floating down the Avon. Three teenage girls, isolated and under pressure, come together one sultry summer. Power, obsession, need, naivety and self-absorption lead to disaster. After all, weren't the Furies once teenage girls? @FaberBooks @kate_hamer www.katehamer.co.uk

They then discuss Girl in Blue Coat by Monica Hesse, which made its way into the 30% of books Trish likes despite being a little unbelievable. They compare it to Girl in the Red Coat by Kate Hamer which loaded Jess with tension as she worried that mother and daughter characters would not be reunited. Trish and Jess end with Top 5 Most satisfying or uplifting dogs in literature as recommended by Jess's mom. Next month, special guest Leah with A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman.

While reviewing "Endless Night" they discuss their surprise over its structure, push back on extended recuperation periods for sprained ankles, and discuss the inaccurate cover on Jess's book from the 70s. They finish with Top 5 list of men from literature who got in over their heads. Next month they will compare and contrast "The Girl in Red Coat" by Kate Hamer and "Girl in a Blue Coat" by Monica Hesse, with Jess reading the former and Trish the latter. Happy reading till then!

You Will Know Me (Little Brown and Company) The audacious new novel about family and ambition from "one of the best living mystery writers" ("Grantland") and bestselling, award-winning author of The Fever, Megan Abbott. How far will you go to achieve a dream? That's the question a celebrated coach poses to Katie and Eric Knox after he sees their daughter Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful, compete. For the Knoxes there are no limits--until a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community and everything they have worked so hard for is suddenly at risk. As rumors swirl among the other parents, Katie tries frantically to hold her family together while also finding herself irresistibly drawn to the crime itself. What she uncovers--about her daughter's fears, her own marriage, and herself--forces Katie to consider whether there's any price she isn't willing to pay to achieve Devon's dream. From a writer with "exceptional gifts for making nerves jangle and skin crawl" (Janet Maslin), You Will Know Me is a breathless rollercoaster of a novel about the desperate limits of parental sacrifice, furtive desire, and the staggering force of ambition. Praise for You Will Know Me: “Almost unbearably tense, chilling and addictive, You Will Know Me deftly transports the reader to the hyper-competitive arena of gymnastics where the dreams and aspirations of not just families but entire communities rest on the slender shoulders of one teenage girl. Exceptional."–Paula Hawkins, author of the #1 bestseller The Girl on the Train "Is there anything Megan Abbott can't do? We will have to wait for the answer to that question because You Will Know Me continues her formidable winning streak. This story of an ordinary family with an extraordinary child is gorgeously written, psychologically astute, a page-turner that forces you to slow down and savor every word... And, yes -- please forgive me -- she totally sticks the landing."–Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of Hush Hush “Megan Abbott’s latest thriller plunges readers into the shockingly realistic life of young, female gymnasts whose severely regulated lives come with unthinkable consequences. Gritty, graphic, and yet beautiful and dreamlike in the way the story unfolds, You Will Know Me comes barreling at you with all the power and urgency of a high-speed train, as Abbott asserts herself as one of the greatest crime writers of our time.”–Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl “That rarefied sweet spot between unnerving psychological suspense and a family drama with heart, You Will Know Me induces equal parts dread and unease, empathy and warmth. The pages couldn't turn fast enough as I dug deeper into the peculiar and fascinating Knox-family world, trying to figure out who was lying, who was telling the truth, and who was dangerous. Luscious writing, a timely and unique premise, and an ending that will haunt you all summer long.”–Jessica Knoll, author of the New York Times bestseller Luckiest Girl Alive “You Will Know Me takes you into the dark heart of family, a journey that feels more menacing with every page. Abbott cranks the tension up in this disturbing tale of exactly what we are prepared to do for our children - I was reading compulsively into the night. A beautifully written, gripping read that feels unshakeably real.”–Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat Megan Abbott is the award-winning author of eight novels, including The Fever and Dare Me. She received her Ph.D. in English and American literature from New York University. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, Salon, the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Wall Street Journal, and the Guardian. Megan is currently a staff writer on HBO's forthcoming David Simon show, The Deuce. She lives in New York City.

If Kate Hamer's debut novel The Girl in the Red Coat sounds familiar, in part because it joins a horde of books with the word 'Girl' in the title,----more---- then readers might be pleasantly surprised by the strange story that awaits. By turns Gothic and emotional, funny and heard-breaking, supernatural and realistic, it tells the story of a kidnapped girl and a grieving mother that takes a number of strange turns.
