About
In Hannah Mary McKinnon’s The Revenge List, Frankie finds herself in an anger management class and is made to write a “forgiveness list,” but when the list goes missing the people she’s named start getting hurt in freak accidents, each deadlier than the last. In Jonathan Whitelaw’s The Village Hall Vendetta, a journalist and his mother-in-law go on a quest to solve the murder of a wealthy entrepreneur who buys an expensive painting that some say is cursed. In this conversation, hear the authors’ perspectives on two contrasting books that share the theme of revenge. Plus, catch a sneak peek into their new titles coming out soon: Whitelaw’s The Concert Hall Killer and McKinnon’s Only One Survives.
