A terrible child murder is at the heart of the first novel in Richard and Judy’s Winter 2022 Book Club collection. Considering himself a ‘failed journalist’, author Robert Gold chose to write a protagonist who is an investigative journalist instead. In Twelve Secrets, Ben Harper’s job means he begins to uncover secrets about the murder of his brother when they were children.

Joining Richard and Judy, Robert talks about his time as an intern at CNN in Washington DC during Clinton’s presidency, as well as the process of writing with James Patterson. They also trade stories about desperately hoping people would turn up to their book signings.
