Tandem Collective Talks

As huge fans of J.P. Pomare’s work, we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate his podcast novel with a podcast. Here, Lex and J.P. get to grips with the nuance of colonisation still prevalent in New Zealand stories today and the careful balance of page-turning crime thriller as readers follow Sloane - a young investigative reporter turned podcaster, investigating who killed the Primrose family all of those years ago. Bill has been in prison ever since, but was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Is something more sinister afoot? Find out in J.P. Pomare’s 17 Years Later, available now. Links: To buy: https://www.hachette.com.au/jp-pomare/17-years-later-a-shocking-crime-thrillerRead an exclusive extract: https://www.hachette.com.au/news/start-reading-17-years-later-by-jp-pomareFull show transcript: https://thetandemcollective.com/tandem-collective-talks-podcast/blog-post-title-one-py6jg
