Set between the Blue Mountains and a Sydney hospital, this taut psychological thriller is brimming with great characters and nail-biting tension

📦 BERNIE THINKS IN BOXES

@jesshornauthor @affirmpress

Bernie has boxes for everything: home, school and park. But one day, Bernie’s boxes collide, and she must find a way to make sense of her world again. A beautiful story about thinking differently and navigating change in a neurotypical world.

📒 A TOWN CALLED TREACHERY

@19_jenno_88 @harpercollinsaustralia

A deadbeat dad. A curious boy. A journo drowning in the past ... and a town full of secrets. Can the truth ever be found in a town called Treachery? A gripping mystery suffused with warmth, humour and authenticity.

📕 CATHERINE WHEEL

@lizevanswrites @ultimopress

A ‘taut, multi-layered psychological thriller’, exploring the legacy of coercive control and gaslighting, motherhood and abortion, and the complexities of female friendships. Moving and thoughtful, with the propulsion of a page turning thriller.

📔 FORGOTTON

@caseywritesstories
@hawkeyepublishing

A sharp examination of what it looks like to be a woman in today’s society – a book for anyone who’s woken up at forty and wondered what has happened to their life.

📘 BETWEEN HUSBANDS AND WIVES

@susannahglenn @panterapress

A couple moves to Far North Queensland looking for a fresh start, but can they escape their past? A page-turning domestic thriller for fans of Sally Hepworth & Liane Moriarty

📓 WINTER OF THE WOLF

@amandawillimott @penguinbooksaus

An unmissable Australian debut inspired by a notorious werewolf trial, blending history with paranormal and feminist themes, and with a moving queer romance at its core

📘 ROAD TO FREEDOM

A caste-less urchin with the ability to control light and sound finds herself thrown into a foreign world where the only way to survive is move out of the familiar shadows and into the light. But is it safe to be seen?
