I'm Molly Wansall and I'm Geoffrey Wansel and for the last 16 years or thereabouts we have been having lunch every Saturday and often our conversation turns to murder

and that's what's prompted us to launch this true crime podcast called blood ties

Hi everyone welcome back to the blood ties podcast I'm Molly Wansall and I'm here with my father, Jeffrey Wansall.

Hello everyone, welcome back. We've missed you. It's been a little while. I hope you've had a bit of a holiday or a bit of a rest.

A damp summer. A bit of a damp summer in England, anyway.

Perhaps it's going to perk up.

It's meant to be 25 degrees this week or something, isn't it?

Yes, well, I'll believe that when I see it.

What have I done?

I've done, did some, a Crime Con book club.

We're supposed to mention the seven ages of death by dr richard which you asked us to mention before and i got a note from the publishers saying

it's very very good it's the second of his books. He's a forensic pathologist.

Uh, yes, and he's represented by my company.

Yeah, that one there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It is very good. I have dipped into it. I haven't read it all yet, but I have dipped into it.

And it's very good. I've read several very, very good books, including the new Stephen King.

Nobody needs to tell you that Stephen King is a bestseller.

Also one of the greatest storytellers of our generation.

But the latest book called Billy Summers, which is just beside Molly, is a wonderful,

it's a tour de force, really.

It's a tour de force on one of the oldest themes of noir, the one last job story.

This is a professional sniper trained in the army and takes on one last job.
