Author Talk – Family Thrillers with B.M. Carroll and Petronella McGovern
Ready for some mysteries? Join crime writers B.M. Caroll and Petronella McGovern in an Author Talk at the Hawkesbury Central Library on Wednesday, 31 July 2024.
The two writers will discuss what inspired them, their writing process, and their latest novels about family secrets and the things we don’t know about those who are closest to us.
One of Us is Missing by B.M. Carroll is a thriller about trust, toxic friendships and family secrets. Rachel and Rory Sullivan celebrate the end of a difficult year by treating their teenagers, Emmet and Bridie, to their first-ever concert. But by the end of the night, one of the four has vanished.
As the police investigation intensifies, suspicion is cast on family members, friends, and the enemies they didn’t realise they had. Everyone has been deceiving one another, but who is to blame for what went wrong?
Petronella McGovern’s The Last Trace is a gripping page-turner about siblings, secrets, and the traces we can never erase. When a woman asks Lachy Wilson to provide a DNA test, he panics. He has been having memory blackouts and can’t remember what happened that crucial night.
His sister, Sheridan, forces him to face up to his responsibilities but she doesn’t realise what she’s setting in motion – a murder investigation and long-held secrets which will explode into their lives.
The Hawkesbury Library says the talk will commence at 6:00 PM and be followed by questions, a book signing, and tea and coffee.
Books will be available to purchase in the evening.
Tickets for the Author Talk cost $5 and can be booked online via Eventbrite: Family Thrillers, B.M. Caroll & Petronella McGovern. The Hawkesbury Central Library is located at 300 George Street, Windsor.
