Amanda Geard

Geologist Amanda Geard has written her debut novel, The Midnight
House. Immersive, with an incredibly strong sense of place, the
book tells the story of Lady Charlotte Rathmore who went missing
in 1940, and that of Ellie Fitzgerald who looks to unravel the
mystery in 2019.


Amanda joins Richard and Judy to discuss how her geology
knowledge helped her write both the novel’s central grand house,
and south-west Ireland, in such vivid detail. Plus, Amanda talks
about how the renovation of her own home in County Kerry
unearthed some moving local history.
