Join our host Fiona Taylor as she chats with Melbourne author Alexander Thorpe, Reading By Candlelight's Book Box author for MAY 2024, about his classic whodunit DEATH HOLDS THE KEY in this spoiler-free interview.
Alexander now holds the very special honour of being the ๐๐๐๐๐ male author to feature in the book boxes and he certainly brought his A-game to our little spoiler-free chat! ๐
We talked about the golden age of crime novels, how he was inspired by reading Josephine Tey and Agatha Christie, why he was deported from Russia and most importantly why his protagonist mendicant monk is nameless and the technical difficulties that present while writing.
๐๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฆ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ is a classic whodunit set in 1920s Western Australia, full of twists and turns, with a seemingly impossible murder mystery that explores all our favourite tropes - a locked door, no murder weapon and a cast of engaging characters, all who would have delighted in murdering the victim!
As always, this monthโs book box is almost sold out so be quick if you want to order one. They come with a signed copy of the novel, a paired beverage, exclusive tin candle & seed bookmark and a surprise! โจ
With many thanks to Alexander for his time and support for ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ ๐พ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ฉ which proudly promotes new Australian authors and their stories. This interview is ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ wherever you love to listen or find the link in my bio โจ
