This was a corker of a short story! Why have I not read this author before ..... especially given she's an Australian? A fast paced, tightly woven murder mystery with a psychological edge, it really does pack an awful lot into it's few pages. Highly recommended read.

This is really a mystery full book of a single short story of not more than 1 dozen pages. It is quite pacy as well. I liked it.

About the author

 Vicki writes fast-paced mystery and suspense novels in contemporary Australian settings. All her books are quick, easy reads with no gratuitous sex or violence. However, her characters occasionally swear.

Vicki's books are all standalones, but in order published: 

THIN BLOOD: Ten years after two juries fail to convict a stockbroker of the murder of his missing wife, retrenched journalist Jacinta Deller befriends the stockbroker’s new wife, the victim’s sister.

SLEIGHT MALICE: When a badly charred body is discovered in the remains of her best friend’s home, Desley James is devastated. Except the body is male and her friend is missing. 

BRITTLE SHADOWS: Two months after finding her fiancé’s naked corpse hanging from a wardrobe rail in their apartment, Jemma Dalton’s sister takes her own life, leaving Jemma to probe the dark shadows of her sister’s life. 

FATAL LIAISON: The lives of two strangers, Greg Jenkins and Megan Brighton, become inextricably entangled when they each sign up for a dinner dating agency. But Greg's reason for joining has nothing to do with looking for love. 

BITTER NOTHINGS: A woman and her two children are murdered in their beds, the father the prime suspect until he turns up dead on an isolated bush track. 

Vicki is represented by The Fleck Agency. For all rights/publication queries, please email: [email protected]
