Small towns, deadly secrets: Sisters in Crime@St Kilda Library

St Kilda Library 150 Carlisle Street , StKilda, VIc, Australia

The crime novels by Bronwyn Hall (The Chasm), Erina Reddan (Deep in the Forest), and Claire Sutherland (The Crag) are all set in small towns in rural Victoria where idyllic surrounds hide shocking secrets and crimes. It’s up to resourceful and smart women to uncover the truth and put things to right. The three authors will be talking to Sisters in Crime’s Ruth Wykes about why the bush is such a compelling 'scene of the crime' and what sent them there.
