Page Turners with The Nile Episode 1

Episode 1: Candice Fox

Join host John Purcell for a riveting conversation with three-time Ned Kelly Award winner and New York Times bestselling author, Candice Fox. Candice, known for her meticulous research—including interviewing a serial killer and visiting prison for work, sits down to discuss her latest novel, Redbelly Crossing.

The book plunges two estranged, cop brothers, Russell and Evan Powder, into the murder investigation of a young journalist in a remote, snake-infested town of 205 people. In this episode, Candice shares insights into the inspiration behind her latest novel and how it might solve a cold case, the development of her tough, gay cop character, Russell, how her unusual family background, overflowing with siblings, informs her writing and her passion for animal rescue (she's a WIRES volunteer!)

Plus, Candice faces John's rapid-fire "Quick Questions," covering everything from James Patterson's work ethic to the monarchy, and whether she's truly the animal-loving writer she pretends to be. Don't miss this addictive chat with one of Australia's finest crime writers!
