POPULARITY
Wereldprimeur voor de nieuwe Nicci French. Een nieuwe zaak voor Maud O'Connor in deze thriller van het wereldberoemde schrijversduo dat al 25 jaar aan de top staat van de thrillerwereld. Uitgegeven door Ambo|Anthos Spreker: Carly Wijs
Bestselling thriller writer(s) Nicci French go head to head in a war of the words, expertly refereed by Joe Haddow.Nicci French is the pen name for husband and wife writing team, Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, and this is our first official Book Off couple! Sean and Nicci discuss their latest novel, The Last Days Of Kira Mullan, and dig into some of the themes which inspired this story. Here's the blurb:Nancy North and her boyfriend Felix are making the move across London to Harlesden. A new flat, a new area, a new start. Because while Nancy is fine now, she wasn't fine before. But settling into the new flat and meeting the new neighbours isn't helped by Felix's hovering concern. She is all right. She is sticking to her breathing exercises and doctor-prescribed help. So, when their new neighbour Kira Mullan is found dead by suicide, Felix is understandably worried about Nancy's frame of mind. But Nancy saw Kira the day before she died and she didn't strike her as someone who was suicidal – she was upset and angry, yes, but was she upset and angry enough to take her own life? Nancy is the only one convinced that there's more to Kira's death than has been discovered. But all the police and the neighbours see is a vulnerable woman who isn't sure of what she saw, and might even be imagining things . . . Nicci and Sean also give us some brilliant book recommendations - SO MANY recommendations - which include the audiobook of Samuel Pepys' diaries. As former journalists, they're both pretty competitive, but we don't think the Book Off will be the end of the marriage... (?)

Deze aflevering van drie boeken is opgenomen in het Engels. Vandaag wordt de podcast 'drie boeken' 5 jaar. Dankjewel voor het luisteren en het volgen. Deze verjaardagseditie bestaat uit twee afleveringen: ik praat met het meest succesvolle schrijversduo op aarde: thrillerschrijvers Nicci French. In aflevering 265 praten ik met hen beiden over de drie boeken van Nicci Gerrard. In aflevering 266 over de boeken van Sean French. Nicci Gerrard en Sean French wonen in Groot-Brittannië, ze hebben samen twee dochters, Nicci Gerrard heeft ook twee kinderen van een vorig huwelijk. Ze schreven samen bijna 30 romans. Ik praat met hen samen eerst over de drie boeken van Nicci Gerrard; in aflevering 266 over de drie boeken van Sean French. We zaten met z'n drieën in een zaaltje op Boektopia in Kortrijk. Ze vertellen vol passie over hun boeken; ze vertellen hoe ze precies te werk gaan als ze hun thrillers schrijven, hoe de schrijvers van wie ze houden hun eigen werk beïnvloed hebben, hoe hun privé-situatie onmerkbaar toch in hun boeken kruipt, bijvoorbeeld als hun moeder sterft. Ik vraag hen of ze een boekenkast hebben waar hun boeken staan, een moment dat ze mij hard uitlachen. En ik vraag wat ze van elkaars drie keuzeboeken vinden.

Ze staan bekend als de liefste, hartelijkste en vriendelijkste auteurs die je kan ontmoeten. Ik kreeg voor het gesprek van twee verschillende mensen al te horen dat ze zò uitkeken naar ons gesprek. En zelf waren ze blij en ongelooflijk dankbaar, terwijl er maar één iemand dankbaar moest zijn, en dat was ik. Het gaat over toen ze elkaar leerden kennen, hoe het is om een nieuw hoofdpersonage te kiezen, zoals in hun recentste boeken. Hoe ze enkele jaren geleden afscheid namen van hun hoofdpersonage Frieda Klein. Nicci Gerrard verklapt het ene ding dat ze bij Frieda Klein gedaan hebben en nooit meer opnieuw gaan doen. Het gaat over samen lezen met hun kinderen en hun kleinkinderen. Ik vraag hen wat volgens hen hun eigen beste boek is.

What happens when fantasy meets the First World War? This month, we read 'The Warm Hands of Ghosts' by Katherine Arden, a novel which follows Canadian nurse Laura Iven as she searches for her brother behind the lines in the militarised area known as the ‘Forbidden Zone'. The plot hinges around a mysterious character called Faland, who runs an elusive hotel with no set location that men find to drink and relax In the discussion, we consider the fictional use of historical characters, whether the war began in 1917, and Chris' new scale for measuring war-related novels.

Left with no answers and in limbo, the Salter children try and go on with their lives, all the while thinking that their mother's killer is potentially very close to home. Then we flash forward to now. When childhood friends decide to do a podcast about Charlotte's disappearance, it seems like the town's buried secrets – and the Salters' – might finally come to light. After all this time, will they finally find out what really happened to Charlotte Salter?To order “Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter”, you can visit QBD Books in-store or online here: https://www.qbd.com.au/has-anyone-seen-charlotte-salter/nicci-french/9781398533608/Follow along with QBD Books here: QBD Books on Facebook: www.facebook.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Instagram: www.instagram.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Tik Tok: www.tiktok.com/@qbdbooksaustralia QBD Books on Twitter: www.twitter.com/qbdbooks

Welcome to “Not Couple Goals” where co-hosts Allie Nelson and Tyler McCarthy do a deep dive into a different ridiculous romantic thriller from the vantage point of their long-term relationship. Allie, a TV writer/producer and actress, has an affinity for romantic thrillers, the more salacious the better. Tyler, an entertainment reporter and critic, often finds himself drawn in despite his better judgment. Join them as they explore all the ways it's possible to love too hard… like WAY too hard. In this episode, Allie and Tyler are joined by special guest, Pop Break allstar and “Star Wars” human encyclopedia Amanda Rivas to discuss the confounding straight-to-dvd erotic thriller “Killing Me Softly,” starring Heather Graham and Joseph Fiennes, written by Kara Lindstrom and directed by Kaige Chen, based on the book by Nicci French. Listen as they muse about how two attractive actors can make sex look so bad, the dos and don'ts of “scarfing” and why you should never trick your partner into hiking a mountain on your wedding day. How much is too much when it comes to telling the police about your sex life? Tune in to find out! Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.

The consequence of doing ‘The Favour' turns mild-mannered Doctor Jude's life upside down. Nicci French has written a crime novel where the reader is concerned for Doctor Jude's own safety, in this murder investigation. Ronnie Scott's novel, 'Shirley', toys with the assumptions surrounding social conventions and how individuals shape identity but it also plays with the reader's expectations by playing on the unconventional.

When Liam unexpectedly turns up in Jude's life after ten years to ask her a favour, she just can't say no. He was her first love and will always be someone special to her. However, after she does the favour, she is contacted by the police – Liam has been found dead… and she is caught up in a murder investigation.

Sean talks about film casting, Hitchcock, Brian DePalma, violence in movies, technology ruining movies, Cary Grant. Sean also talks about books having their own kind of suspense and action, certain writers don't translate well to movies, Stephen King, never remaking great movies, movies with cast ensembles, and the Great Escape.

Featuring: Belinda Bauer, Wiley Cash, Jonathan Freedland, Nicci French and Cath Staincliffe. Is the crime novel essentially an up-dated morality tale? The crime genre can help us contemplate some of the most important questions of our time. How can the press spend so many column inches on the tragic overdose of a Hollywood star when hundreds of drug-related deaths go unreported every year? Is murder ever justified? And where does euthanasia fit into the debate? Belinda Bauer, Wiley Cash, Jonathan Freedland, Nicci French and Cath Staincliffe chew over the rights and wrongs, with sensitivity, passion, and a dash of black humour. The Morality Of Murder was recorded live at Harrogate International Festivals' Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in July 2015.

With Mark Lawson, who reports from this year's Harrogate Crime Writing Festival.
