    A Matter of Love and Death

    Written by Carmen Radtke

    Narrated by Taryn Ryan

    About this audiobook

    Adelaide, 1931: Telephone switchboard operator Frances’ life is difficult as sole provider for her mother and adopted uncle. But it’s thrown into turmoil when she overhears a suspicious conversation on the phone, planning a murder.

    If a life is at risk, she should tell the police; but that would mean breaking her confidentiality clause and would cost her the job. And Frances soon begins to doubt the evidence of her own ears—it was a very bad line, after all....

    She decides to put it behind her and meets slightly dangerous nightclub owner Jack. Jack’s no angel—but when Frances’ earlier fears resurface, she knows that he’s the person to confide in. Frances and Jack’s hunt for the truth puts them in grave danger, and soon enough Frances will learn that some things are a matter of love and death....

    Author

    Carmen Radtke

    Carmen Radtke has spent most of her life with ink on her fingers and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by her side. She has worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents and always dreamt of becoming a novelist and screenwriter. When she found herself crouched under her dining table, typing away on a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, she realised she was hooked for life. A Matter Of Love And Death was previously published under the pen name Caron Albright. Its hero, Jack Sullivan, will soon return in ‘False Play at the Christmas Party’. When she is not writing, reading or dreaming of travel, she is busy acting as resident cat servant. She’s currently working on her first contemporary crime novel.
