The actress Kim Cattrall has starred in films and on stage, but is probably best known for TV series Sex And The City. She is now in a new audio drama, Central Intelligence, which tells the story of the CIA from the perspective of Eloise Page. Eloise joined on the agency's first day in 1947 and became the highest ranking female officer. Kim joins Clare McDonnell to discuss Eloise, her passion for radio, and the enduring appeal of Samantha Jones.In sentencing Huw Edwards, the former BBC News presenter, for accessing child sexual abuse images, the magistrate said that he did not pose a risk to the public or children, and that an immediate custodial sentence was not necessary because the evidence showed he could be rehabilitated. Edwards must now attend 25 sex offender treatment sessions. We look at how these treatment programmes work and how effective they are proven to be, with Deborah Denis, CEO of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and Professor Belinda Winder, Research Director of the Centre for Crime, Offending, Prevention and Engagement at Nottingham Trent University.The number of women taking up NHS cervical screening test invitations has been declining for the last 20 years. Healthwatch England did research with women who were reluctant to accept NHS invitations for screening and found that 73% would do an at-home test instead. A trial done by King's College London earlier this year found that if self-sample kits were available on the NHS, 400,000 more women would be screened per year. Chief Executive of Healthwatch England Louise Ansari and Dr Anita Lim, lead investigator of the King's College London trial, join Clare to tell us more.Sarah Pearse is the best-selling author of the Detective Elin Warner trilogy. She recently released the last novel in the series, The Wilds which includes themes of coercive control and was written with advice from the charity Refuge. She talks to Clare about the role fiction can play in highlighting issues of domestic violence and coercive control.

Ostrov je typ detektívky, aké majú mnohí radi - uzavretý okruh ľudí na ostrove, postupne vychádzajú na povrch tajomstvá, skrývané vzťahy medzi ľuďmi, ktorí tam dovolenkujú...odhaľujú sa charaktery, vnútorné nenávisti, zloba, zášť, nepriateľstvo...
Halb versteckt im Wald und überragt von dunkel drohenden Gipfeln war Le Sommet schon immer ein unheimlicher Ort. Einst diente es als Sanatorium für Tuberkulosepatienten, dann verfiel es mit den Jahren und wurde schließlich aufgegeben. Nun hat man es zu einem Luxushotel umgebaut, doch seine düstere Vergangenheit ist noch immer spürbar. Als Detective Inspector Elin Warner zur Verlobungsfeier ihres Bruders anreist, beginnt der Albtraum: Erst verschwindet Isaacs Verlobte, dann geschieht ein Mord. Schließlich schneidet auch noch ein Schneesturm das Hotel von der Außenwelt ab, und die Gäste sind mit einem Killer gefangen ...Quelle: Verlagstext
Was für ein Szenario: Ein umgebautes, ehemaliges Tuberkulose-Sanatorium in den Alpen ist zu einem erstklassigen Hotel umgebaut worden. Dort arbeitet Laure, die Verlobte von Elin Warners Bruder, und dort feiern die beiden ihre Verlobung. Doch dann verschwindet Laure, ein Schneesturm trennt das Hotel von der Außenwelt ab.

On today's 113th Episode of The Thriller Zone, we celebrate 2022 with THE DAVE & TAMMY TOP 10 YEAR END EXTRAVAGANZA!Today's show is extra fun because I get to spend it with my beautiful and talented wife, Tammy.

That includes our “Top 10 Favorite Books, TV Series and Movies of '22."

Either way, there's plenty of entertainment to go around, so let's have FUN!Also, while Tammy and I certainly have different tastes, we share a good many favorites, mainly because we devour so much entertainment together on any day, night or weekend.There are so many people to thank for making this show possible, mainly because YOU, my faithful listener and/or viewer.

It's our best books of 2022, one of our favourite episodes to record as by this point we've done all the hard work of reading, now it's time to sit back and consider which, of all the books we read in 2022, were our very favourites. That might be a new release or it might be a backlist gem. We've also got the books that got us through difficult moments, the books that made us laugh or cry, and the ones we recommended and gave to friends. As we're nothing if not critical we've got some books that didn't quite live up to our expectations before we finally crown our top three books of 2022. As snow falls gently around the shed, the fairy lights twinkle, the mulled wine is warm, and we discuss our favourite reads of 2022 with regular special guest, journalist Phil Chaffee. Books mentioned are listed below, but if you want to be surprised look away now. Book recommendations for Best Books of 2022 Favourite new release: Laura loved TRUST by Herman Diaz, Phil's favourite (with also-rans The Marriage Portraitby Maggie O'Farrell and Love Marriage by Monica Ali) was THE SECRET LIVES OF CHURCH LADIES by Deesha Philyaw, while Kate loved SEVEN STEEPLES by Sara Baume (with honorable mentions Housebreaking by Colleen Hubbard and Briefly: A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens) Favourite backlist title: Phil picked THE BETROTHED by Alessandro Manzoni (with also-rans The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toíbín, and Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig). Kate loved The Homemaker by Dorothy Canfield-Fisher but her favourite was O CALEDONIA by Elspeth Barker. Laura went for WIVES AND DAUGHTERS by Elizabeth Gaskell. Favourite non-fiction reads: For Kate it was THE PALACE PAPERS, Tina Brown's engaging examination of the British royal family and our collective fascination with (or indifference) to them. Kate's also-rans were Fall by John Preston (did Robert Maxwell fall or was he pushed?), 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman (if we did but have the time to discuss it) and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake (book everyone says is great turns out to be great). Laura only reads non-fiction when her book club forces her too, but luckily she did end up reading CASTE by Isabel Wilkerson, a book that changed her view of the world within the first fifty pages. Phil loved Putin's People by Catherine Belton and Not One Inch by M.E. Sarotte, but his overall favourite was THE RED PRINCE by Timothy Snyder. Favourite Book Club reads. Top of the pile for Laura was MICHEL THE GIANT by Tété-Michel Kpomassie while Phil preferred EIGHT MONTHS ON GHAZZAH STREET by Hilary Mantel. Kate loved The Heart is a Lonely Hunterby Carson McCullers but her ultimate choice was LIGHT PERPETUAL by Francis Spufford Favourite comfort reads: For Phil it was EITHER/OR by Elif Batuman; he now only wants to read books narrated by her protagonist Selin. Laura escaped to a creepy Swiss hotel with THE SANATORIUM by Sarah Pearse while Kate sank into the arms of old friend E.M. Delafield with THE DIARY OF A PROVINCIAL LADY. A book that made us laugh or cry: For Kate it was A HEART THAT WORKS by Rob Delaney. Phil enjoyed THREE MEN IN A BOAT by Jerome K. Jerome (in audiobook form read by Hugh Laurie). Laura loved Small by Claire Lynch and The Sentence by Louise Erdrich, but her final choice was THE BREAD THE DEVIL KNEAD by Lisa Allen-Agostini A book we pressed on a friend: Runner-up for Phil was We Don't Know Ourselves by Fintan O'Toole but his favourite was THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. Laura's pick was THE SIXTEEN TREES OF THE SOMME by Lars Mytting Books we read that didn't quite live up to our expectations: THE ABSOLUTE BOOK by Elizabeth Knox promised much for Laura but ultimately didn't deliver. Phil really didn't get on with A LITTLE LIFE by Hanya Yanigahara (and has *really* thought about why) and for Kate LIBERATION DAY by George Saunders didn't quite meet the soaring heights of his other books. Overall Book of the Year: Laura's standout was THE TREES by Percival Everett. Kate loved After Sappho by Selby Wyn Schwartz and The Door by Magda Szabó but her overall favourite read was LONESOME DOVE by Larry McMurtry. Phil meanwhile loved the Elena Ferrante Neopolitan quartet, but his overall book of the year is, as mentioned earlier, THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. A few other books we mention in passing: Golden Hill by Francis Spufford The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Babel by R. F. Kuang A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt The Little Library Parties and The Little Library Christmas by Kate Young Find full shownotes and links to related podcast episodes at our website thebookclubreview.co.uk, where you'll also find a transcript and our comments forum.

They couldn't wait to stay here. A wellness retreat has opened on an island off the English coast, promising rest and relaxation—but the island itself, known locally as Reaper's Rock, has a dark past. Once the playground of a serial killer, it's rumored to be cursed. But now they can't leave. A young woman is found dead below the yoga pavilion in what seems to be a tragic fall. But Detective Elin Warner soon learns the victim wasn't a guest—she wasn't meant to be on the island at all. And they would do anything to escape. Today, we are chatting with Sarah Pearse about her second book The Retreat in the Detective Elin series. She wrote The Santorium which was a Reese book club pick. Can you imagine a universe where Agatha Christie and Stephen King collaborate on a book? That is exactly Sarah's writing style. Take listen to our fabulous podcast chat, y'all!

I really enjoyed Sarah Pearse's debut novel, The Sanitorium. Though I was not happy with the "why," I was left intrigued by its ending and was very much looking forward to her second novel, The Retreat. If you're looking for that ending to resolve itself in this book, you will be disappointed. If you're looking for a fast-paced "who dunnit," you might be OK. It was a 3-star from me. Good, but by no means great. In contrast, I gave The Sanitorium a 4-star. Social Media Podcast: https://anchor.fm/whatithinkisay/ Instagram: @ReadYourHeartsOut Bookclub: @TheWanderingBookworms I'd love to discuss the book with you on Spotify or Instagram!

‘Novelas sobre la locura'. La ansiedad, la depresión, la esquizofrenia y demás trastornos mentales, han acompañado al ser humano desde siempre. ¿Cuál ha sido su reflejo en la literatura? Es el especial de Patricia del Río, quien retrocede en el tiempo, hasta los albores de la Edad Media, para contarnos de los signos de demencia en las principales familias reales de España y Francia; así como de personajes muy queridos y reconocidos en la literatura universal. La psicóloga clínica, Rachel Watson, nos da un concepto sobre la estigmatización hacia las personas que padecen problemas de salud mental, y la importancia de las lecturas como terapia de control. El periodista Diego Pajares recomienda las películas "Batman, el caballero de la noche", con Heath Ledger; "El silencio de los inocentes", con Anthony Hopkins; y "Fragmentado", con James McAvoy. Mientras que el crítico literario y gerente de ‘Escena libre', Julio Zavala, se refiere a tres lecturas inspiradas en esta temática: "El tapiz amarillo", de Charlotte Perkins Gilman; "El sanatorio", de Sarah Pearse; y "Mi falda hasta los tobillos", de Carolina Cisneros. En el libro de la semana, la editora Anahí Barrionuevo, conversa del libro ‘Máncora blues' (Editorial Huerto de Tamarindo, 2022), de la escritora María Luisa del Río, que le rinde homenaje póstumo a la amiga, periodista, poeta y editora Doris Bayly Letts. Un libro que refleja las alegrías, vivencias, retratos y costumbres del pueblo mancoreño en el norte del Perú. Las canciones que recrean el programa son: ‘A la sombra de un león', de Ana Belén y Joaquín Sabina; ‘Basket case', de Green Day; ‘En el muelle de San Blas', de Maná; ‘Crazy', de Aerosmith; ‘Crazy', de Daniela Andrade; ‘Crazy for you', de Adele; ‘Crazy Little thing call love', de Queen. Conducción: Patricia del Río ||| Producción: Amelia Villanueva ||| Edición de audio: Andrés Rodríguez ||| Episodio 25 – Tercera temporada

Excuse me for burping! And poor Man couldn't help but short circuit for a minute there. Hilarious! Let us begin with The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse and while the pace of the book was wonderful and kept our favorite bibliophile intrigued enough for her to rate it a 3/5, it was a fallacy! False advertisement at its finest, promising a more loaded version of The Shining and to Manda's disappointment, the lack of ghosties just peeved her. I fill Manda in on the final season of Power on STARZs, another slight disappointment to be honest. Don't get me wrong the show was great, but like I said before, I could've done without. The fact that I compared the last half of season 6 to whiskey dick...say no more bitch!Ladies, be glad if you have a shitty credit score because men like Simon are out there.The Tinder Swindler on Netflix walks us through this charismatic--gross--man and his swindling ways!

Peng and I discuss The Cartographers, the true story about an event with a gas station map in the early 1900s that inspired a portion of this story, phantom settlements and how they have fallen out of favor now that people have moved to relying on electronic maps, how the use of maps changed once online maps became popular, why writing a mystery differs from writing other fiction, the hardest part of writing the book for her, and much more.

The Sanatorium is the debut novel by Sarah Pearse. An old sanatorium, turned hotel, with a dark history is the backdrop for a string of murders happening on-site. Detective Elin Warner tries to save her relationship with her estranged brother as they celebrate his new engagement at the hotel. But when his new fiancé disappears, will Elin solve the case before she becomes the next victim? Let me know what you thought of The Sanatorium by following me on Instagram @the_binging_librarian
If you're after an eerie thriller to curl up with over Christmas, the New York Times Bestseller The Sanatorium would be pretty perfect - and I loved interviewing its author Sarah Pearse. She was full of practical advice for getting published, having started by writing short stories for magazines before attempting novels. And I loved her down-to-earth attitude to writing. We also spoke about Reese Witherspoon, who included Sarah's book in her online book club -and with whom she had a pretty surreal Zoom call. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Buy the book: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-sanatorium/sarah-pearse/2928377075873 Edited by Chelsey Moore

Read by Alex McKenna, Carlotta Brentan, Ewan Chung, Joe Knezevich, Lauren Fortgang, Stacey Glemboski and Susan Dalian. Everyone has those friends. Doesn't matter how long it's been, or how badly they've behaved, or how late it is when that call finally comes - you show up. No questions asked. There's something so beautiful about that kind of unconditional love. It can turn ugly, though.... Ten years after graduation, a group of friends plan a reunion in a remote house in upstate New York. It isn't a bachelor party, as they've led one of their friends to believe, but instead an intervention for an escalating drug addiction. They lost one member of their friendship group in college, and they'll do anything to make sure that doesn't happen again.... But from the moment they arrive, something doesn't feel right. The local community doesn't like outsiders, and they're especially hostile to this group. And with so much shared history between old friends, it's inevitable that a secret or two will slip out over the course of the weekend. And one of them will lead to murder. From New York Times best-selling author Kimberly McCreight comes an gripping thriller, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Allie Reynolds and Sarah Pearse.

SARAH PEARSE is the NY Times and Sunday Times Bestselling Author of THE SANATORIUM, Reese's Book Club Pick! We are very excited to have Sarah on the show. The Sanatorium looks fantastic. “AN EERIE, ATMOSPHERIC NOVEL THAT HAD ME COMPLETELY ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT.” —Reese Witherspoon An imposing, isolated hotel, high up in the Swiss Alps, is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But she's taken time off from her job as a detective, so when she receives an invitation out of the blue to celebrate her estranged brother's recent engagement, she has no choice but to accept. Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge. Though it's beautiful, something about the hotel, recently converted from an abandoned sanatorium, makes her nervous – as does her brother, Isaac. And when they wake the following morning to discover his fiancée Laure has vanished without a trace, Elin's unease grows. With the storm cutting off access to and from the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic. But no-one has realized yet that another woman has gone missing. And she's the only one who could have warned them just how much danger they're all in . .

The Sanatorium: Book by Sarah Pearse “Dark, suspenseful and downright chilling, Pearse's debut, The Sanatorium, is a triumph. Vividly set against the backdrop of the Swiss Alps, it had me on the edge of my seat from the first page. Pearse's writing is sublime. Pearse has a big future ahead of her.” —Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Mother-in-Law “The Sanatorium is definitely a debut novel to watch out for. What a chilling read! One of the creepiest thrillers I've ever read. So atmospheric, clever and compulsive. LOVED it!” —Claire Douglas, bestselling author of Last Seen Alive “A superb debut offering an astonishingly creepy and isolated backdrop, great characters, tension and twists. Hugely atmospheric with enough menace to keep you looking over your shoulder!” —Sam Carrington, bestselling author of I Dare You Website : https://gobookmart.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support
