Kill Your Darlings First Book Club: Trace by Rachael Brown

Kill Your Darlings

Event Date: 21 November 2018
Author / Presenters: Rachael Brown in conversation with Ellen Cregan

The KYD First Book Club is a monthly event, open to all, in which we interview a local author about their debut release. For our November Book Club title KYD has chosen TRACE: Who Killed Maria James? by Rachael Brown.

TRACE is an amazing true-crime podcast: one that blew the dust off a 38-year-old cold case, and gave a voice to the forgotten and the abused.

In her exhaustive and exhausting 16-month investigation into the 1980s murder of single mother Maria James, Rachael reviewed initial suspects, found one of her own, and uncovered devastating revelations about a forensic bungle and possible conspiracies that led to calls for the coroner to hold a new inquest. This book is a mesmerizing account of that investigation.

'What grit, what faithfulness! It's enthralling to track Brown's stubborn little lantern as she forges into these dark forests.' Helen Garner

Come along to hear author Rachael Brown discuss the book, the podcast and the case with First Book Club coordinator Ellen Cregan.

Free, no booking required.
