After reading New Zealand thriller, Better the Blood by Michael Bennett, Jenny S was hoping there would be a second book in the series, and good news, Return to Blood is out next week! “I devoured this book and I think it’s because Bennett has created a flawed but intriguing heroine in Hana and created a strong sense of place.” What draws you to a series?

Michael Bennett (@mosesbread72), founder and creative director of Studio Kër (@studioker), recently sat down with @essence magazine to talk about life after the @nfl, his journey into design and the “We Gotta Get Back to the Crib” showcase in Houston. ⁠ ⁠ The “WGGBTTC” exhibition presents new works originally conceived by Bennett and the late artist Imhotep Blot, spanning furniture, installation, and art, as well as photography by Pele-o-ali’ilagi (@pelepels). Thematically, the work highlights Bennett’s interest in the development of an African diasporic design language that traces the discovery of history through form. It also is the product of his interest, catalyzed by his activism, in the power of architecture and design to create Black agency, particularly through reinvigorating traditional typologies for gathering and communing, such as domestic and sacred spaces. ⁠ ⁠ Bennett tells ESSENCE: “For me We Gotta Get Back to the Crib means getting back to the essence and the principles of who we are culturally. Getting back to all those things that our forefathers did to put us in this position. I think sometimes you think about and you stray as an adult, you stray away, the world is iffy and you start to become of the world whether you design that world, and going back to the principles of who you are, I think, is what propels you to think differently.”⁠ ⁠ Find out if Bennett has “gotten back to the crib” and more in Essence magazine at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✏️ @coolhandoak⁠ 📸 @_john_meza⁠ ⁠ #design #michaelbennett #studioker #essencemagazine #houston

//FICTION NZ// It starts with a daguerreotype, recording for posterity a brutal act of colonial violence…one hundred and sixty years later Māori detective Hana Westerman and her team face a race against time to stop a suspected serial killer at large in Auckland. But these are no ordinary murders, and in the twists and turns of the pursuit that follows, the complex history of Māori and Pākehā interaction is laid bare, driving this gripping and thought-provoking thriller. Comments from BDS Reviewers 🗡"The dialogue is sharp, and the plot keeps twisting. It's a gripping police procedural." 🖊"The main characters are vividly drawn and I found the family dynamic very convincing." 🇳🇿"This book is not just a thriller, it's one with a real difference and one with a serious political message." 🏔"I really liked the focus on the Māori perspective. I liked the detailed explanations of Māori history and culture." 🤓"Very interesting and well done." 🤔"I sometimes felt that the plot was secondary to the author's views on racial issues."

🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆 🆃🅸🅼🅴 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 - 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁 Return to Blood is the second installment to the Hana Westerman series by Bennett. Whilst I've yet to read the first, it didn't distract my from enjoyment of the book in any way. When human remains are discovered among the dunes of New Zealand by Hana's daughter Addison, Hana, ex Auckland CIB tasks herself to investigate. The plot is brilliant and so, so compelling. The characters are credible and I can definitely see myself becoming emotionally invested in Hana and her family. I really enjoyed the book and am already excited for the next in the series. Many thanks to Simon and Schuster for my gifted copy in return for my honest review.

RETURN TO BLOOD by Michael Bennett No QOTD it's been a busy week and I can't think of a question. Happy Thursday 🥰 I've not read many books, if any, set in New Zealand. I found it quite an educational read about both the Māori and the country. This character-driven story follows the murders of two people, twenty years apart. With a few twists I didn't see coming, I found this both enlightening and entertaining #ReturntoBlood #MichaelBennett #LikelySuspects #PrimeSuspect #Crime #Thriller #bookworm #bookish #fiction #booklover #bookclub #books #reader #reviewer #WritingCommunity #bookstagram #ad #gifted @simonschusteruk @likely_suspects

As one of Simon and Schuster's Likely Suspects I'm currently reading 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 by 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁. . . Although it's the second in the series I'm finding it easily reads as a standalone. I'm really enjoying the pace and the plot so far. I don't think it's going to take me long to read, I don't want to put it down! . . From the author of Better the Blood , the gripping second novel in a crime series starring Māori detective Hana Westerman, in which the discovery of human bones in the dunes of New Zealand upends a long-ago murder conviction After the perils of a case that landed much too close to home, Hana Westerman turned in her badge and abandoned her career as a detective in the Auckland CIB. Hoping that civilian life will offer her the opportunity to rest and recalibrate, she returns to her hometown of Tātā Bay, where she moves back in with her beloved father Eru. Yet the memories of the past are everywhere, and as she goes for her daily run on the beach, Hana passes a local monument to Grace, an old classmate, who was murdered more than twenty years ago and hidden in the dunes overlooking the sea. A Māori man with a previous record was convicted of the crime, although Eru never believed he was guilty. When another young woman’s skeleton is found in the sands, Hana soon finds herself in over her head again. Investigators suspect that this is Kiri Thomas, a young Māori woman who disappeared four years ago, after battling years of drug addiction. Hana and her daughter Addison are increasingly captivated by the story behind this unsolved crime, but without the official police force behind her, Hana must risk compromising her own peace and freedom if justice is to be served. . . #currentlyreading #returntoblood #hanawesterman #michaelbennett #simonandschuster #thelikelysuspects #honestreviewer #reader #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #blogger #goodreads #gifted #adpr

📕📕BOOK REVIEW 📕📕 💡The Likely Suspects💡 Return To Blood by Michael Bennett The follow up to Better The Blood which I loved. Māori detective Hana Westerman, has returned home to Tata Bay and is living with her father, Eru. She previously worked for the Auckland Criminal Investigation Bureau and thought she had left that life behind but when her daughter Addison stumbles on the remains of a body her natural instincts kick in. Told in 3 timelines and from multiple POV’s, but mainly those of Hana and Kiri, and with a lot of Māori language, culture and legend - all of which is fully explained. Briefly, the body is that of a young Māori woman, Kiri Thomas, who went missing more than 4 years ago. Twenty years earlier one of Hana’s school friends was found in the same spot but her killer confessed and died in prison. However, Hana’s investigations soon leads her to a possible suspect, but it also gets her on the radar of people she really doesn’t want to come up against. A number of threads running through the book all of which are neatly tied together by the end. Some good twists that kept me guessing longer than usual and some good characters - I particularly like Hana and her father. I relished the detail of the Māori culture, really interesting, and it wasn’t overdone at the expense of the storyline. A good, dark thriller that I really enjoyed. #bookreview #thelikelysuspects #michaelbennett #returntoblood #simonandschuster #lyndasbookreviews #newzealand

🎉🎉Happy Publication Day🎉🎉 Return to Blood Michael Bennett I had only read this author as part of a James Patterson coauthored book. And years ago to boot. This was so much more than I was expecting. It’s full of cultural descriptions, family drama, mysteries and an ending I did not see coming. Set in a coastal New Zealand town, it brings an authentic atmosphere. There are Maori words throughout the book. With footnotes giving their explanation. There are also vivid descriptions of the area, so that I could picture and feel the location. This is book two in the series and I haven’t read book one, but had no trouble following along. I know these characters have a rich history of which the pertinent parts are explained. There are two mysteries set 20 years apart that each have ties making it personal for the book’s characters. I always love when a crime story is personal. It adds an extra layer to it. Hana is currently leading a simpler life since she left her life as an Auckland detective. But she is such a complex character. As much as I learned about her, I wanted to know even more. And she is surrounded by some great side characters. While I knew of the two deaths, the first third almost read like a literary novel. Then there was a revelation that made me need to know what happened. I now need to go backwards and pick up book one! Are you a fan when the author includes cultural descriptions in their books? I’m always excited to learn more about other cultures and consider it a plus. Thanks @likely_suspects and @simonschusteruk for my #gifted copy. #ReturntoBlood #MichaelBennett #likelysuspects #thrillerbooks #maoriculture #familydrama #hanawesterman

A busy past week, works finding new homes include those by Sheila Fell (RA), Michael Bennett, Alexander Hossack, Alice Campbell and the first shown here, by Helen Fryer. All talented, both well known and less known, early career or twentieth century, nationally lauded or destined to be; that’s just one of the reasons I love what we do, it’s the unpredictable nature of art and artists and the discovery of the new or rediscovery of the old. As they say, every day is a school day. . . . #helenfryer #michaelbennett #sheilafell #modernbritishart #alicecampbell #alexanderhossack #cumbrianart #artgallery #artexhibition #contemporaryart

My @likely_suspects readalong book this week is Return to Blood by Michael Bennett from @simonschusteruk This book will be out this week, and I'm already looking forward to sharing my review QOTD Do you read multiple books at a time, or are you strictly a 'one book at a time' reader? AOTD I'm definitely in the 'more the merrier' camp Description Two murders. Two decades apart. One chance to get justice. Hana Westerman has left Auckland and her career as a detective behind her. Settled in a quiet coastal town, all she wants is a fresh start. The discovery of a skeleton in the dunes near her house changes everything. The remains are those of a young Māori woman who went missing four years before, and Hana has a connection to the case. Twenty years ago, a schoolfriend of hers was found buried in the exact same spot. Her killer died in prison, but did the police get the wrong man? And if he was innocent, then why did he plead guilty? No longer part of the Criminal Investigation Branch, Hana turns to her ex-husband Jaye, a high-flying Detective Inspector, for help. But when he cuts her out of the investigation, she realises that she will have to find the answers she needs on her own. But in digging deeper, she sets herself on a potentially fatal collision course with a killer. #ReturntoBlood #MichaelBennett #LikelySuspects #PrimeSuspect #Crime #Thriller #bookworm #bookish #fiction #booklover #bookclub #books #reader #reviewer #WritingCommunity #bookstagram #ad #gifted

🎉🎉Out this week🎉🎉 Return to Blood by Michael Bennett Look what I curled up with this weekend. Well when I wasn’t volunteering or spring cleaning. It was a busy weekend but this was a refreshing break. Very atmospheric. And set in New Zealand. What are you reading? Thanks @likely_suspects and @simonschusteruk for my #gifted copy. About the book After the perils of a case that landed much too close to home, Hana Westerman turned in her badge and abandoned her career as a detective in the Auckland CIB. Hoping that civilian life will offer her the opportunity to rest and recalibrate, she returns to her hometown of Tātā Bay, where she moves back in with her beloved father, Eru. Yet the memories of the past are everywhere, and as she goes for her daily run on the beach, Hana passes a local monument to Paige, a high school classmate who was murdered more than twenty years ago and hidden in the dunes overlooking the sea. A Māori man with a previous record was convicted of the crime, although Eru never believed he was guilty. When her daughter finds another young woman’s skeleton in the sands, Hana soon finds herself awkwardly involved. Investigators suspect that this is Kiri Thomas, a young Māori woman who disappeared four years earlier, after battling years of drug addiction. Hana and her daughter Addison are increasingly captivated by the story behind this unsolved crime, but without the official police force behind her, Hana must risk compromising her own peace and relationships if justice is to be served. #ReturntoBlood #MichaelBennett #likelysuspects #atmosphericreads #policeprocedural #outthisweek #thrillerreads

A killer uses fearsome precision to take out impossible targets. Detective Michael Bennett teams with a shooting expert—a former Army Ranger and sniper with NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit. But Officer Rob Trilling seems more comfortable with rifles than he is with people. When his new partner begins to log unexplained absences from duty, only Bennett can prove whether the decorated officer is a lonely hunter or a hardened assassin. #crosshairs #jamespatterson #jamesoborn #fiction #michaelbennett #thriller #suspense #read #siouxcountypubliclibrary

Highlights from Studio Kër’s (@studioker) "We Gotta Get Back to the Crib", opening night in Houston. The exhibition presents new works originally conceived by Michael Bennett (@mosesbread72), and the late artist Imhotep Blot, spanning furniture, installation, and art, as well as photography by Pele-o-ali’ilagi (@pelepels). Thematically, the work highlights Bennett’s interest in the development of an African diasporic design language that traces the discovery of history through form. It also is the product of his interest, catalyzed by his activism, in the power of architecture and design to create Black agency, particularly through reinvigorating traditional typologies for gathering and communing, such as domestic and sacred spaces. The Houston showcase serves as a poignant return to the city and its people, echoing the shared roots held by the Studio Kër team. ⁠ ⁠ Check out Studio Kër’s Instagram for information about closing weekend events and performances. ⁠ ⁠ "WGGBTTC" is on view until April 21, 2024, 10am-6pm at 5601 Navigation BIvd Houston, TX 77011. ⁠ ⁠ 📸 @_john_meza⁠ ⁠ #studiokër #WGGBTTC #wegottagetbacktothecrib #michaelbennett #architecture #design #nfl #furnituredesign #furniture #houston #exhibition #artist #art #photography #texas

[ release day ] I’ve just finished this one and it is incredible! I had high expectations for it, being a sequel, and it definitely lived up to them. If you’ve read Better the Blood, get your hands on a copy of this asap (it was released today so should be available in all good book stores 😁) otherwise if you like thrillers make sure to pick both of these up! An easy 5⭐️ rating from me!

April 8th Eclipse B-Day I got to teach my B-Day twin #MichaelBennett’s work from #AChorusLine to the seniors at NYU (my favorite gig every year); @radadada08 organized a very special B-Day picnic in my favorite park for me and my other B-Day twin @nicholas.pickolas; and the Sun and Moon performed a stunning and unforgettable B-Day dance for us. Breathing in the moments when the stars align on this tiny, pale, blue dot swimming through the universe. 🌙

@aura7______ • @comagallery Comprised of 128 pages of scans, sketches, photographs and drawings from in and around the artist’s studio, ‘Impressions’, the soon to be released publication of the work of Michael Bennett acts as an extension to the artist’s process-based studio practice where he adds, subtracts and merges materials, textures and mark-making to create painting and sculptural work. The book has been published by New York based design and publishing group Pacific. A casual launch, book signing and opportunity to meet the artist will take place at COMA on the afternoon of Saturday 2 June. @b_e_n_n_e_t_t @pacific_pacific #michaelbennett #artistbook #comagallery

Four works by the late Michael Bennett, spanning 1992 to 2006, are now in the gallery; all sold through Castlegate in past years/decades and just reacquired. Three are shown here (the forth’s portrait orientation doesn’t work on Instagram with the other three). Mike was a fine artist and a truly lovely sensitive gent. . . . #michaelbennett #cumbrianartist #cumbrianart #contemporaryart #figurativeart #figurativepainting #artgallery #art #oilpainting

Lots of bad people this week! My favourite kind. #HowPeopleTick by #MikeLeibling is a fascinating look at difficult personalities - great for character studies! #BetterTheBlood NZ crime at it's best by fellow kiwi writer and movie maker #MichaelBennett #Liars - everybody is a liar! Finally catching up with one of my favourite Aussie authors @petronella_mc_author About me: I’m a crime writer and a reader of everything! I particularly love a good fact-based fiction. I also love to delve into bios and non-fiction to cherry pick the best and worst of real people to use in my characters.  #karinakilmoreauthor #CrimeWriting #aussiecrimewriting #kiwicrimewriting #crimefiction #truecrime #Publishers @koganpage @simonschusterau @simonandschuster @allenandunwin

Return to Blood by Michael Bennett Expected 25th April QOTD what was your last gifted or book buy? Big THANKYOU to @likely_suspects and @simonschusteruk for my surprise #bookmail. I can't wait to read this. Description Two murders. Two decades apart. One chance to get justice. Hana Westerman has left Auckland and her career as a detective behind her. Settled in a quiet coastal town, all she wants is a fresh start. The discovery of a skeleton in the dunes near her house changes everything. The remains are those of a young Māori woman who went missing four years before, and Hana has a connection to the case. Twenty years ago, a schoolfriend of hers was found buried in the exact same spot. Her killer died in prison, but did the police get the wrong man? And if he was innocent, then why did he plead guilty? No longer part of the Criminal Investigation Branch, Hana turns to her ex-husband Jaye, a high-flying Detective Inspector, for help. But when he cuts her out of the investigation, she realises that she will have to find the answers she needs on her own. But in digging deeper, she sets herself on a potentially fatal collision course with a killer. #ReturntoBlood #MichaelBennett #LikelySuspects #PrimeSuspect #Crime #Thriller #bookworm #bookish #fiction #booklover #bookclub #books #reader #reviewer #WritingCommunity #bookstagram #ad #gifted

🅱🅾🅾🅺 🅼🅰🅸🅻 🅿🅾🆂🆃 Many thanks to Simon & Schuster for my gifted copy of 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 by 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁 in return for being one of your Likely Suspects. . . Return to Blood is the second in the Hana Westerman series, of which I'm yet to read the first...its been sitting on my kindle for a while now. It sounds such an exciting series and I'm already looking forward to meeting Hana. . . From the author of Better the Blood, the gripping second novel in a crime series starring Māori detective Hana Westerman, in which the discovery of human bones in the dunes of New Zealand upends a long-ago murder conviction. After the perils of a case that landed much too close to home, Hana Westerman turned in her badge and abandoned her career as a detective in the Auckland CIB. Hoping that civilian life will offer her the opportunity to rest and recalibrate, she returns to her hometown of Tātā Bay, where she moves back in with her beloved father, Eru. Yet the memories of the past are everywhere, and as she goes for her daily run on the beach, Hana passes a local monument to Grace, a high school classmate who was murdered more than twenty years ago and hidden in the dunes overlooking the sea. A Māori man with a previous record was convicted of the crime, although Eru never believed he was guilty. When her daughter finds another young woman’s skeleton in the sands, Hana soon finds herself awkwardly involved. Investigators suspect that this is Kiri Thomas, a young Māori woman who disappeared four years earlier, after battling years of drug addiction. Hana and her daughter Addison are increasingly captivated by the story behind this unsolved crime, but without the official police force behind her, Hana must risk compromising her own peace and relationships if justice is to be served. . . #bookmail #returntoblood #hanawesterman #book2 #michaelbennett #simonandschuster #thelikelysuspects #thankyouformycopy #honestreviewer #reviewcomingsoon #reader #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #blogger #bookwhore #goodreads #gifted #adpr

Het is alweer april! Tijd voor een april bookstack, tijd voor een stapeltje boeken ter inspiratie…  Afgeschreven - Angelique Haak  Als je van spannende thrillers houdt, dan zijn de boeken van Angelique Haak een aanrader. Dit is een boek met een fantastisch plot. inmiddels Angelique Haak een autobuy auteur voor mij geworden!  Poorten van Hades - Clive Cussler  Of het nu uit de serie Dirk Pitt, Isaac Bell of Kurt Austin is, boeken van Clive Cussler staan altijd garant voor spanning en avontuur. Mijn guilty pleasure!  (de) Repair Club - Charles den Tex Het eerste deel van de Repair Club serie. Leer John Antink en zijn vrienden kennen in een spannende spionagethriller dat naar meer smaakt.  Ik kan niet slapen - Steve Frech Wil je wel eens een horror-achtig verhaal proberen? Dan is dit een fijn verhaal om mee te beginnen. Niet te creepy, maar wel een goede sinistere sfeer.  Liever het bloed - Michael Bennett  Ik zie dit verhaal niet veel voorbij komen en dat is jammer. Dit is een spannend verhaal met thriller elementen. Tel daarbij de Maori setting op en je hebt een zeer interessant verhaal te pakken.  Voor ieder wat wils uit de categorie Spanning. Veel leesplezier deze maand!  #bookstack #bookstagram #dutchbookstagram #afgeschreven #poortenvanhades #derepairclub #ikkannietslapen #lieverhetbloed @angeliquehaakauteur #angeliquehaak #charlesdentex #michaelbennett #clivecussler #stevefrech #thrillerbooks #thrillerbookstagram #thriller #leesladderedwin #lezenisleuk

☀️ Our brightest days are still ahead ☀️ Today I spent the day on the bus with Governor Polis and other Colorado Democratic candidates as we went across the state to different college campuses. College campuses are experiencing a low turn out this election, and we should change that! You still have time to vote, even if you haven’t registered yet. Young people have the power to sway EVERY. SINGLE. ELECTION. We have to stand in our power. Go out and VOTE! 🗳️ #movingcoforward #colorado #denveruniversity #msudenver #unc #csurams #csu #cuboulder #denverlife #vote #coloradocollege #governorpolis #michaelbennett #dianadegette #coloradolife #govote #denvercapitol #coloradovotes #coloradoliving #denverco #milehighcity
