CRIME CLUB: "Left Behind" by Martine Kropkowski

December 01, 2025 • QBD Books • Season 5 • Episode 40

Join host Victoria Carthew as she speaks with Martine Kropowski, about her latest novel, “Left Behind”.

Two couples - Annabelle and Luke, Des and Julianni - embark on a camping trip to K'gari, a picturesque island off Queensland's coast. Things have been tough lately, but this holiday is just what they need - white sands, clear waters, a chance to decompress and reconnect. The island, an endlessly shifting landmass of sand, changing and changing again, will survive as it always has. But will they?
