The view is a killer ...

Darkly compelling and twisty psychological drama from a talented new Australian author. Perfect for readers who love Sally Hepworth, Pip Drysdale and Adele Parks.

Will one mother's lie cost another woman her life?

Sleep deprived, struggling and at breaking point, first-time mum Gracie Michaels books one night - alone - at The Maxwell Hotel. A king-size bed all to herself. No demands. With time to recharge she'll be able to return to her family more like the unflappable mother she pretends to be.

Instead, she wakes in a room she doesn't recognise after an encounter with a man who is not her husband. Then she sees something she wishes she hadn't.

Being drawn into a crime was not something Gracie had planned for her hotel stay but when a distraught family appeals for information and a police investigation heats up she is trapped in a maze of lies.

To speak out jeopardises her marriage, but her silence threatens her son, her sanity and her safety. Will Gracie destroy her own family by telling the truth or devastate someone else's by keeping her secrets?

'A suspenseful, dark story that drew me in from the first page. The Eleventh Floor is shockingly unexpected with outcomes that feel completely realistic, alongside powerful moments of motherhood, marriage, trust and love, and a seeping sense of dread that will leave you shuddering.' - Jo Dixon, Australian bestselling author of The House of Now and Then

PRAISE FOR KYLIE ORR:

'A web of deception is spun, and creeping dread lurks behind the veneer of domesticity in this intense and realistic psychological thriller.' - WA Today

'Orr's novels explores the darker side of humanity and question our understanding of self and others.' - Weekend Australian, Noteable Books

'An unputdownable, one-sitting read.' - Better Reading

'Orr really ramps up the tension, emotion and general agitation of this novel ... the race is definitely on to get to the pulsating conclusion of this tale.' - Mrs B's Book Reviews

'Someone Else's Child is a captivating story. In the age of GoFundMe, it raises some very timely questions about friendship, ethics and loyalty.' - Eliza Henry-Jones, author of In The Quiet

Padded out

This book was far longer than it needed to be. A lot of waffle at times and the silly way she related people's names to colours, I found irritating. I get that she was depressed but think she did some truly silly things at the hotel.... before she was drugged.

The must-read book of 2024!

Remember last year when we all HAD to read YELLOWFACE because if we didn't we'd be left out of a raging discourse?

That's how I feel about THE ELEVENTH FLOOR by Queen Kylie Orr.

If you haven't read this, you are missing out on a salacious exchange punctuated by hushed tones and gasps. From a writerly perspective, this book is a masterclass in raising the stakes and complicating things for your protagonist. As a reader, this book will break you only to build you back up again and leave you better for it.

We all know the premise, right? A sleep deprived young mother checks into a hotel for one night of rest. But when she wakes up in a strange man's room and witnesses a crime from his eleventh floor window, life as she knows it will never be the same.

This book expertly walks a tightrope between unfathomable circumstances and the small kindnesses that make them endurable. This story flies a big old feminist flag and I. Am. Here. For. It!
