Return to Blood by Michael Te Arawa Bennett - Part One

We discuss chapters 1-11 of Michael Te Arawa Bennett's 'Return to Blood', the second novel in the Hana Westerman series. Hana has retired from the Auckland police, but her place as a crime fiction protagonist means trouble is never far away. Her daughter stumbles upon a skeleton in the sand in her hometown on a weekend away, replicating a horrible murder that happened in Hana's youth. Was the wrong killer put away, or is a copycat on the loose? Hana's successor in the police is on the case, but can Hana herself stay on the right side of the law? We're also joined by Margaret Hickey to talk about her latest novel, 'The Creeper'; a young cop is stationed in a small town ten years on from its darkest day. As the shadow looms again, will Sally White find the truth was buried deep enough? Thank you to Penguin Australia for providing us copies of 'The Creeper' and helping us arrange our time with Margaret.
