  • “Libraries are all about the stories they contain.” Catherine du Peloux Menage

    Earlier this year Lismore Library was devastated by the horrendous floods, after having just rebuilt and recovered from the floods of the previous year. Moved by an image of hundreds of books being thrown out of the windows of Lismore Library, BAD Sydney Crime decided to help by putting on an event with Candice Fox, Chris Hammer and Michael Robotham, moderated by Kate Evans from ABC’s “The Bookshelf." The event raised $16,000 for the Library and this episode is a recording of that event.

    Lismore Library are still in need of support. If you would like to donate money or books go to https://rtrl.nsw.gov.au/flood-recovery-donations?fbclid=IwAR0CCiR-3eB6qe-pc7wskAMJvL4P8BAMBqrSicItVoY40M0e983cs5KBatM

  • In this episode, Andy Muir talks with Rae Cairns about her debut crime thriller ‘The Good Mother’, a story of a mother forced to confront her past when her son travels to Ireland. How hard will a mother fight to protect her family? But that’s not the only story that is explored. This novel has had one of the more unusual pathways to publication we can think of and after talking with Rae, the podcast team assembles to discuss both the novel and Rae’s inspiring story about prizes, perseverance, self belief and not giving up.
