Murder Town - A Novel

"If you love Jane Harper''s books, you will love WAKE even more." -- Kayte Nunn, bestselling author of The Silk House and The Last Reunion "Shelley Burr is a bright new talent in Australian crime fiction." -- Chris Hammer, bestselling author of Scrublands "WAKE is an incredible read." -- Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver "A nerve-jangling thriller with a brilliantly twisty plot." -- Rose Carlyle, bestselling author of The Girl in the Mirror "Politically savvy, cleverly plotted...the kind of book that invites the ravenous language of binge reading: compulsive, propulsive, addictive." -- New York Times Book Review "Genuinely gripping...Burr takes a solid framework and builds a darn fine, frequently impressive house around it out of secrets, human evil, and abiding grief and guilt." -- Criminal Element "[An] outstanding debut...With a slow build and complex characters, this is both a well-plotted gripping mystery and a sensitive exploration of the aftermath of trauma." -- The Guardian (UK)
