 AN APPLE BOOKS BEST BOOK OF 2024
A SPOTIFY BEST NARRATION OF 2024 PICK

'There's no better storyteller in the thriller game than Pomare' HERALD SUN

'Shocking, twisty and impossible to put down' CHRISTIAN WHITE

'Pomare's gift for complex plots and drum-tight tension shines' BENJAMIN STEVENSON

'A raging river of twists and turns' WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN

'Flawlessly plotted . . . breathless suspense' ANNA DOWNES

The violent slaughter of the Primrose family while they slept shocked the nation.

The family's young live-in chef, Bill Kareama, was swiftly charged with murder and brought to justice. But the brutal crime scarred the idyllic town of Cambridge forever.

Seventeen years later, true-crime podcaster Sloane Abbott tracks down prison psychologist TK Phillips. Once a fierce campaigner for an appeal, TK now lives a quiet life with Bill's case firmly in his past.

As Sloane lures a reluctant TK back into the fight, evidence emerges that casts new light on the Primroses - and who might have wanted them dead.

While the list of suspects grows, Bill's innocence is still far from assured. What will it cost Sloane and TK to uncover the truth?

Love the twists and turns, the pop culture references and the locality!

It’s really nice to find a thriller from Australia/NZ that is honestly amazing! I read a lot of Michael Robotham (I appreciated the mentions of him in this novel haha) and Freida McFadden and I really enjoyed this book!

Extra points for the phone passcode - IYKYK! 😂🩷

Best read in a while

I’m an Aussie who tends to like spooky/horror, so to find a thriller / mystery which held my attention is amazing! Nothing is as it seems. EVERY character has a story, a background, a motive. Every character is relatable, realistic and suspect. Awesome read.

Another great pomare piece of work!

I was looking forward to this book coming out and it didn’t disappoint. lots of twists and turns throughout the story at times. I thought it was coming a little bit slower than I would like but then it would speed up and get back into it. A great story.
