HQ Fiction, an imprint of HarperCollins Australia, is generously donating ten copies of The Drowning, and ten copies of What the Bones Know for the Crime Stack for February.
In Fiona Lowe’s latest novel, The Drowning, the inheritance of a beach house pulls a family apart. CC Cilento’s best memories are of spending every summer holiday running wild in and out of the Friend family beach house with her cousins. But now a bombshell has dropped: the four Friend siblings have officially inherited the property – along with an unexpected fifth share to CC. What starts out as the perfect gift, and a way of keeping the family connected forever, quickly devolves into an emotional power struggle. When a body is found on the shack’s beach, has this family dispute turned deadly? Fiona’s previous crime novels include The Accident and The Money Club. More info here.
In Kirstyn McDermott’s new novel, What the Bones Know, a ghost gum falls in a storm in the Victorian Highlands, and tangled in its roots are the bones of a small child and the tattered remains of her clothing. Meanwhile, single mum Jude returns home as her mother is showing troubling signs of dementia. There are many disturbing occurrences on the farm, and Jude fears something more sinister is happening . . . Kirstyn McDermott is the author of two award-winning novels, Madigan Mine and Perfections, along with numerous pieces of short fiction and poetry. More info here.
