Clan Destine Press' writers and editors have some great content this month, with a true crime podcast, a great Irish TV show, and a Scarlet Stiletto ebook from Sisters in Crime, full to bursting with award-winning crime stories and ready for download in seconds. Love that one and there are eleven more anthologies to keep you cool this summer. Onward!
Striking Out, a two-season Irish legal drama (Acorn TV, and Apple TV), is the TV equivalent of comfort food: nourishing, not too demanding, and very enjoyable, according to Sydney author Natalie Conyer. Catch up here for the full review.
Tuesday 23 February, 7-8:00 pm: Join true crime author Vikki Petraitis as she discusses her books and podcast, The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron, and why people are fascinated with true crime.
