The Kill Your Darlings First Book Club, which promotes the debut titles of Australian authors, has chosen Martin McKenzie-Murray’s Murder without Motive as its first book of 2016. McKenzie-Murray’s masterful debut is about the 2004 murder of Rebecca Ryle in suburban Perth, and blurs the traditional ‘police procedural’ elements of the true-crime genre, with that of memoir.

McKenzie-Murray will join Gideon Haigh for an in-depth discussion of crime-writing and murder most horrid.
