During which time we moved back to Ireland and lived in County Galway.

Bring all of them together and you have Kel’s Country House Mysteries, featuring Jack Lewis and friends solving brain teasing "closed door" mysteries in 1930's Oxford. Hi, I’m your host Jenny Wheeler and today on the Binge Reading show Kel talks about his love for old fashioned clue puzzle mysteries – the sort that aren’t generally written any more – as well as his passion for Australian English – one of the richest vocabularies in the world, in his view.

  • Lian Dolan – The Marriage Sabbatical

    Lian Dolan – The Marriage Sabbatical
    May 21 2024
    What if you could take a vacation on your marriage and for six months, pursue a lifetime dream your husband doesn't share? And he could do the same. That's the premise for Lian Dolan's latest book, The Marriage Sabbatical. Hi, I'm your host, Jenny Wheeler and today Lian, the author of the popular The Sweeney Sisters and Lost And Found In Paris is quick to make clear that the central premise of the marriage sabbatical does not come from personal experience. She jokes her life is ‘just not that interesting.’ But on today's Binge Reading show, she talks about how she came to write a fascinating tale of marriage veterans of 23 years who take holidays apart for the first time in their lives because of their wildly clashing personal interests, and discover new things about themselves and their love for each other. Book Giveaways But before we get to Lian, be assured. We've got our usual free book giveaways this week. It’s open season on freebie thrillers.
