Publisher's Summary
A nail-biting thriller that turns popular true-crime such as Serial and Making a Murderer on its head, Greenlight shocks with twists and turns you’ll never see coming.
Four years ago Eliza Dacey was brutally murdered. Within hours, her killer was caught. Wasn’t he?
So reads the opening titles of Jack Quick’s new true-crime documentary. A skilled producer, Jack knows that the bigger the conspiracy, the higher the ratings. Curtis Wade, convicted of Eliza’s murder on circumstantial evidence and victim of a biased police force, is the perfect subject. Millions of viewers agree.
Just before the finale, Jack uncovers a minor detail that may prove Curtis guilty after all. Convinced it will ruin his show, Jack disposes of the evidence and delivers the finale unedited: proposing that Curtis is innocent. But when Curtis is released, and a new victim is found bearing horrifying similarities to the original murder, Jack realises that he may have helped a guilty man out of jail. And as the only one who knows the real evidence of the case, he is the only one who can send him back....

Critic Reviews
"An outstanding debut from an exceptional new talent, this is an absorbing thriller told with heart and wit. Morality and ambition clash on a journey full of twists as Greenlight takes readers from the cut-throat media landscape to a sleepy town full of secrets. Confident, compelling and with a surprise around every corner, I loved it." (Jane Harper)
"Such an assured, intricately plotted novel full of mind-bending twists and turns." (Candice Fox)
"A gripping, densely knotted debut that kept me guessing until the very last page." (Mark Brandi, author of Wimmera)
"Greenlight has a killer premise, genuinely surprising twists and turns and an original, deeply memorable protagonist. A thriller on the dark side, but with moments of great tenderness. Benjamin Stevenson is a writer with something to say." (Dervla McTiernan, author of The Ruin)
"A hugely-original premise, a guilt-ridden protagonist, a plot that won’t lie down. A great debut." (Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands)

What an ending!
Kept me guessing the whole way through! I would have put most of the town behind bars. Highly recommended to those who love to try to predict the ending ... you won’t be able to.

Slow start but worth the wait
I wasn’t very taken at first - I found the description too much and the main character too slow. I persevered and really enjoyed the story - and what a great ending!

Green light
This is my first audible book. I really enjoyed it but I would have loved Lauren to have an actual female talking for her character. The way this man read her. He made her sound like a young child teasing someone..other than that I enjoyed the story.

A bit hard going
Jack Quick what a very weird man.
Sometimes the listening to the description of all his ailments was strange and hard listening.
Quite enjoyable but.....

Excellent Aussie Thriller
I'm typically not a huge fan of the thriller genre, they can be a little formulaic and you can guess who the killer is 2/3rd of the way in. Not with this book! A rollicking finish and excellent twist, I was blindsided and loved it. The protagonist is nuanced and well developed. It's also good fun listening to a story based around Sydney and thr Hunter. Have a listen, you won't regret it.
