Mairead Hearne – Murder One

Karin Slaughter at the LexIcon June 2023

We were treated to a fantastic evening at the LexIcon venue in Dun Laoghaire on June 20th!

Karin Slaughter

We had a full house with an enthralled audience of absolute fans for international bestseller Karin Slaughter. Karin’s incredible drive and focus came through loud and clear, with charm, wit and a strong moral compass. She has huge empathy for victims and respect for their stories, and a real understanding of the human psyche in all its guises. Karin explained that her first book was turned down by publishers and her agent suggested she should write something different!

Thanks so much to Edel Coffey for all her excellent questions.

Liz Nugent at The Pavilion Theatre March 26th 2023

What a fantastic event with Liz Nugent last night – getting right inside the head of Strange Sally Diamond!

With an exclusive reveal about an extra last chapter in the US edition, author and RTE Arts Correspondent Sinéad Crowley expertly questioned No 1 bestseller Liz Nugent about the origins of the idea and how she brought Sally to the page.

No one gets under the skin of monstrous characters like Liz Nugent does. With each new novel her reputation soars, and Strange Sally Diamond may just be her best yet.

**Selected for BBC 2 Between the Covers 2023**~

Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did was so strange.

She was only doing what her father told her to do, to put him out with the rubbish when he died…

Now Sally is the centre of attention, not only from the hungry media and police detectives, but also a sinister voice from a past she cannot remember. As she begins to discover the horrors of her childhood, Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends and big decisions, and learning that people don’t always mean what they say.

But who is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world? And why does her neighbour seem to be obsessed with her? Sally’s trust issues are about to be severely challenged . . .
