Ngaios Longlist

June 8, 2019 McIlvanney

Delighted that The Quaker has made the longlist for the 2019 Ngaio Marsh Award for Best NZ Crime Novel. It's keeping some stellar company, alongside books by likes of Stella Duffy, Fiona Kidman, Nikki Crutchley, JP Pomare, Ben Sanders and others. Great to see NZ crime fiction in such rude health. Congrats to all on the list... https://www.noted.co.nz/culture/books/ngaio-marsh-awards-2019-longlist-prize/ … [Read more...]

Coming Home

November 15, 2018 McIlvanney
