We discuss chapters 19-27 of Ngaio Marsh's Eighth Roderick Alleyn novel, 'Overture to Death'. The stage is set to catch a killer, and the domino that tipped all this monstrosity into place. So the ordeal began in the theatre, it will return. Roderick Alleyn and his squad of investigators must bring all the information together to decide on who is guilty, who is responsible, and if those two are even the same person.
We also talk with Gabriel Bergmoser about the print release of his latest audiobook; The Hitchhiker. Almost a theatre piece itself, one lone and unprepared man ventures happily into the outback, only for an unsettled teen to flag him down and join the ride.
Thank you to Harper Collins for providing copies of The Hitchhiker, and helping arrange our time with Gabriel.
