Cara Hunter & Victoria Selman #OnTheSofa at the OXFORD LITERARY FESTIVAL 2024
Ain't That Truth: Where Crime Fact Meets Crime Fiction
Season 6 Episode 5
Victoria Selman & Cara Hunter chaired by Triona Adams
Live from the Oxford Literary Festival: Victoria and Cara Hunter explore our our apparently unquenchable thirst for true crime and ask why the genre is often stranger than fiction.
Cara Hunter Murder in the Family: LUKE RYDER’S MURDER HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED.
In October 2003, Luke Ryder was found dead in the garden of the family home in London, leaving behind a wealthy older widow and three stepchildren. Nobody saw anything.
Now, secrets will be revealed – live on camera.
Years later a group of experts re-examine the evidence on Infamous, a true-crime show – with shocking results. Does the team know more than they’ve been letting on?
Or does the truth lie closer to home?
Can you solve the case before they do?

CHRIS HARDING THORNTON In Person With Paul
CHRIS HARDING THORNTON chats to Paul Burke about her new novel LITTLE UNDERWORLD, being a seventh generation Nebraskan, noir, PICKARD COUNTY ATLAS and music.
LITTLE UNDERWORLD: Omaha, 1930. When ex-cop-turned-PI Jim Beely murders the man who assaulted his fourteen-year-old daughter, the last person he wants to see is local crooked cop Frank Tvrdik. Luckily, Frank isn’t interested in the lifeless body in Jim’s car. Frank has a proposition: he’ll make the dead man disappear if Jim helps take down Elmer Kobb, who is vying for city commissioner and willing to backstab anyone who gets in his way.
Soon, Jim and Frank are sucked into a seedy world of crime and corruption, where no one is safe and nothing is what it seems. Then Jim is violently attacked and one of his operatives turns up dead within the span of twelve hours, and his search for the truth yields a web of lies and a mounting death toll. As he and Frank are pulled deeper into the city’s dark underbelly and its absurd political machinations, Jim begins to question everything he knows about Omaha and his place in it.
In her moody, ferocious, and darkly funny follow-up to Pickard County Atlas, a novel Tana French called a "slow-burning beauty of a book," the native Nebraskan Chris Harding Thornton mines Omaha's sordid past, melding fact and fiction into an unforgettable tale of danger and deceit. Little Underworld asks: What does it mean to be good, and what is left for those of us who aren’t?
Chris Harding Thornton, a seventh-generation Nebraskan, holds an MFA from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska, where she has taught literature and writing courses. Her other professions have included quality assurance overseer at a condom factory, jar-lid screwer at a plastics plant, closer at Burger King, record store clerk, all-ages club manager, and PR writer. Pickard County Atlas is her first novel.
Recommendation:Steve Weddle The County Line

When he appears in court, the public call for the guillotine - and that's the sentence Mailloux gets.

As the clock ticks towards execution hour, Baptiste begins to realise he may have made a terrible mistake...
