True crime with nibbles
New Zealand Listener
|November 22-28, 2025
Polkinghorne, redux. “There will be drinks and nibbles from 5.30 and then Steve from 6 to 7,” reads an email I received from the New Zealand Law Society - Te Kāhui Ture o Aotearoa in advance of an appearance I am making on November 19 to discuss my book Polkinghorne: Inside the Trial of the Century.
-
Strange to keep talking about the trial, which ended on September 23 last year when a jury at the High Court at Auckland found Dr Philip Polkinghorne not guilty of murdering his wife Pauline Hanna. Strange, too, to keep talking about the book, written over summer and published on July 15, definitely the last time I put my name to a book of true-crime until the next one.

I'm a firestarter
Late spring is bonfire season out here in the sticks. It is the time of year when we rural types - even we half-baked, lily-livered ones who have washed up from the city - set fire to enormous piles of dead wood, felled trees and sundry vegetation that have been building up since last summer, or perhaps even the summer before.
