Listen Again: An Afternoon with Tara Moss

Listen Again: An Afternoon with Tara Moss
February 24, 2026

 

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you put a bestselling author, a sharp interviewer and a room full of curious readers in the same space, wonder now more!

This was a fascinating conversation between Tara Moss and Sue Turnbull as they talked shop. Specifically the shop of historical crime thrillers and the protagonist of her latest, The Italian Secret. But they also wandered further afield, teasing apart Tara’s rather unusual and incredibly in-depth research methods, which include going to the FBI Academy.

They also discussed the many lives Tara has lived across her many careers and what it actually takes to write 15 books while also advocating for human rights and finding time to be a UNICEF ambassador on the side.

Tara Moss has written 15 books which are published in 19 countries and translated into over a dozen languages. She’s a human rights advocate, a UNICEF ambassador, a holistic practitioner, and a former model who knows a thing or two about walking into a room.

For those who missed it, sorry and do have a listen now! For those who came, you know.
