Description



Book Synopsis



Three housemates - one dead, one missing and one accused of murder.

Journalist Olive Groves worked on the "Housemate Homicide" story as a junior reporter and became obsessed with the case. Now, nine years later, the missing housemate turns up dead on a remote property sparking controversy and begging the question - what really happened between the three housemates that night? Olive is once again assigned to the story, this time reluctantly paired with precocious and overly eager millennial podcaster Cooper Ng.

As Olive and Cooper unearth new facts about the story, a dark web of secrets is uncovered, forcing Olive to confront her own past traumas and insecurities that have risen to the surface. As she delves deeper than ever before, will Olive's suspicions threaten her future happiness and even her sanity? And will her relentless search for the murderer put her new family in danger?



Review Quotes




"Outstanding...Logical yet surprising plot twists never overwhelm the sophisticated characterizations that make suspending disbelief almost effortless. The judicious use of flashbacks build tension, and the denouement doesn't disappoint. Jane Harper readers will be riveted."
-- Publishers Weekly

"Australian crime at its best."
-- J.P. POMARE, author of Call Me Evie

"Each new twist in the story skilfully balances bombshell revelations and believability, in a crime that feels achingly familiar, yet shocking at the same time. Much like Oli, I couldn't stop until I knew the truth, too."
-- Jacqueline Bublitz, author of Before You Knew My Name
