Two of Australia's most thrilling crime writers come together to discuss their latest books and what compels us about these darkly addictive tales of murder, mystery and twisted motives. 

Dervla McTiernan tells a high-stakes tale of a woman's disappearance and three seemingly unconnected people caught in a lethal web of deceit in Three Reasons for Revenge. Benjamin Stevenson channels the golden age of mystery writing with a tightly wound whodunnit featuring heists, hostages and plot twists you'll never see coming in Everyone in This Bank is a Thief.     

In conversation with Kate Mildenhall.
