Author Talk with Margaret Hickey at Queanbeyan Library

Crime fiction fans will enjoy this special author talk featuring Margaret Hickey speaking about her latest book, An Ill Wind. Margaret is the author of several crime novels, including Cutters End and Stone Town. 

Margaret continues writing about rural Australian towns in An Ill Wind. When a body is found hanging from a wind turbine in the small Victorian town of Carrabeen, Detective Sergeants Belinda Burney and Will Lovell are shocked to discover the dead man is Geordie Pritchard, a rich local philanthropist and owner of the wind energy farm. Suicide seems the likely explanation at first, until Geordie’s widow Lucinda insists her husband was murdered – and she has the death threats to prove it. Certainly the wind farm has proven to be divisive in the town. While some welcome the jobs and prosperity it brings, others are angered by the loss of farming land. In short, Pritchard was both saint and sinner. But who in the small community hated him enough to want him dead?

Book sales and signing will be available at the event.
