Meet author Robert Gott at our Barham Library

Published on 27 September 2022

Book lovers are in for a real treat next month with Melbourne-based crime author Robert Gott making his way to Barham for an author talk at the library.

Gott is well-known for his series of crime-caper novels set in 1940s Australia: Good Murder, A Thing of Blood, Amongst the Dead and The Serpent’s Sting.

He’s also more recently brought fans his Holiday Murders series which includes The Holiday Murders, The Port Fairy Murders, The Autumn Murders and his newest instalment The Orchard Murders.

Gott will give an insightful talk on this latest novel at the Barham Library on October 14.

Set in Melbourne during the dark days of the Second World War, it’s a novel about revenge, obsession, and the dangerous gullibility of religious fanatics.

Mayor Chris Bilkey said it’s great to be welcoming well-respected authors to the region.

“Author talks are always interesting events where you get a good insight into the process of converting ideas into a serious book,” he said.

“We’re lucky to have the Author Talk program head our way and we hope that all the book lovers can get along to see Robert speak at the Barham Library.”

Along with his crime novels, Gott has also published many books for children and is the creator of the newspaper cartoon The Adventures of Naked Man.
