Fiction

Some of the Australia's most horrific murders occur in the seemingly safe and ordered world of our suburbs. And a new fresh voice has captured some of the most bewildering and shocking of these tales. From the tragic story of Jane Thurgood-Dove, shot down in cold blood in her Melbourne driveway in front of her small children, to the bloodbath in Kapunda when 16-year-old Chantelle Rowe was brutally murdered, along with her parents, in her home by a jealous friend. From the young Perth mum who left her toddler by the sea to drown , to the Cowra grandpa who murdered his wife and grandchildren, these are truly terrible crimes. Evil strikes in the most banal of places and you will be left wondering why?
