Two authors who returned to crime writing after more than a decade away have today been named among an eclectic longlist for the 2018 Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Novel.
Having just posted a media announcement on the 2018 Ngaio Marsh longlist (the media announcement is here), now for a few personal comments. Firstly and most importantly, if you've been standing by waiting for a review to be posted (especially if your book was in the submissions list), this is the reason for the delay.
Started this over the weekend - new crime fiction after a long break from Stella Duffy.
From the Blurb:
Life is good for Laurie and Martha. They have three great kids, a much-loved home in the countryside, and after years of struggle, Laura's career as an architect is taking off at last. Everything's perfect.
Except, it isn't.
Someone is about to walk into their happy family and tear it apart.
Stella Duffy was born in London and brought up in Tokoroa New Zealand. She is also an actor, improvisor, comedian and occasional radio presenter. She now lives in London and is married to writer Shelley Silas. For complete biographical details please wander off to her site http://www.tartcity.com/intro.html#stella
