Cold Water Killer | In Conversation with Jude and Alison Alexander
Advertisement
What killed Derek Peabody? On a Tasmanian beach during the coldwater swimming group's nude midwinter dip?
No one liked him. Not his wife, his ex-wife, his brother, his wife's sister, his business partner, nor the collegues he'd cheated over the years. Certainly not the community of Coldwater Bay, where he planned to start a fish farm. And especially not the coldwater swimmers, a group of women of a certain age adamantly opposed to fish farming.
An intriguing thriller set on the beautiful ‘Apple Isle’.
Alison Alexander is a leading and prize-winning Australian historian whose distinguished works include Corruption and Skullduggery (2015; republished by EER, 2024) and Land of Rogues & Scoundrels (EER, 2025). Alison is a keen cold-water swimmer.
Jude Alexander works as a test developer with the Australian Council for Educational Research. Her passion is folk music. She is a member of two singing groups.
Jude and Alison will be in conversation with Judy Tierney OAM. A state and national award winning journalist with ABC radio and television for over 35 years, Judy Tierney continues to contribute to various programmes despite her ‘retirement’. Currently, Judy is on the board of Island, Tasmania’s most respected literary magazine and is a Leadership Champion with Tasmanian Leaders, the organisation that identifies and nurtures the best of our young, bright thinkers. She is an Ambassador for Second Bite, promoting the wonderful work done by the food distribution group feeding the needy.
Join Jude, Alison and Judy at the Afterword cafe.
