Acerca de esta escucha
From the best-selling author of The Paris Model comes another breathtaking story of glamour, romance, and espionage.
Success would depend on taking a dangerous risk.
When Blaise Hill, a feisty young journalist from one of Sydney's toughest neighbourhoods, is dispatched to London at the dawn of the swinging '60s to report on Princess Margaret's controversial marriage to an unconventional photographer, she is drawn into an elite realm of glamour and intrigue.
As the nation faces an explosive upheaval, Blaise must grapple with a series of shocking scandals at the pinnacle of British society. Yet, haunted by a threat from her past and torn between two very different men, who can she trust in a world of hidden motives and shifting alliances? If she makes the wrong choice, she will lose everything.
Inspired by real events, The Royal Correspondent is a compelling story of love and betrayal, family secrets and conspiracy that takes you from the gritty life of a daily newspaper to the opulent splendour of Buckingham Palace.
Praise for The Royal Correspondent:
"Combines romance, a splash of espionage and lots of glamour, inspired by real events." (Australian Women's Weekly)
"It will sweep you up with its winning combination of historical facts and fabulous fiction." (Herald Sun)
"Vividly brings the swinging '60s to life." (Who Weekly)
"This engaging read has it all - glamour, intrigue, gossip, espionage, romance and fashion.... It's a gripping read with well-drawn characters...a well woven tale set on the cusp of changing times." (Weekly Times)
"A fabulous story, with an extremely compelling protagonist at its heart.... Joel has hit her stride here." (Better Reading)
"A world of glamour, intrigue and scandal." (Woman's Day)

It was summer in the mountains when five small children vanished from their nursery school picnic. The heat was stifling that day, the tinkle of an ice-cream van in the air.... Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one. All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.
