Could not put this down! Excellent story telling, had me absolutely hooked! Will be recommending this to everyone who’ll listen.’ Reader review ?????????? You’re almost certain your daughter didn’t kill the neighbour. But what if she did?Richard Wellington is one of the country’s most recognised doctors. A morning TV regular, surgeon to the elite, and scandal-proof despite a malpractice case that should have ruined him.But when his body is found sprawled in a harborside park on a sweltering Sydney morning, the facade shatters. His murder dominates the headlines, and the normally quiet cul-de-sac he called home becomes a media circus, seething with speculation and unease.For Liv Elliot, none of that matters – except for one detail: her daughter, Gracie, was at the park that morning. As the investigation heats up and dark secrets about Richard begin to surface, Liv takes steps to shield her daughter from the storm – steps that could destroy them both if the truth comes out.How far would a mother go to protect her daughter?Readers love The Neighbours:’I could not put this down! The twists and turns – I did NOT see them coming!’ ??????????’I haven’t read a book with such well developed characters in a long time and this book manages to match that with a fast, clever plot.’ ??????????’You will not be able to out this one down.’ ??????????’A twisty, atmospheric story that’s deeper and more complex than your everyday domestic thriller’ ??????????’I stayed up well past the time I should have been asleep. Five stars no doubt. Can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer.’ ??????????

An art historian gets caught up in a deadly international standoff in this “inventive” political thriller (The Guardian). What would happen if Greek extremists blackmailed Britain into returning ancient sculptures? And what if that blackmail involved not only Queen Elizabeth II, but also dark secrets about her uncle, the Duke of Windsor? When Edward Andover, Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, receives a painting by Raphael from an anonymous collective known only as the “Apollo Brigade,” he’s nonplussed. But the ominous delivery is soon followed by two more. All three paintings, it turns out, were looted by the Nazis during World War II. Soon, Andover finds himself racing to prevent the public exposure of secrets from the royal family’s past, should they not meet the group’s demand to return of the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, on display at the British Museum. What’s more, his very life may be at stake as the Apollo Brigade makes its violent intentions known. Set over the course of five explosive weeks, Stones of Treason features “intelligent action in a realistic thriller” in the tradition of Dan Brown’s blockbuster Robert Langdon novels (TheMail on Sunday).
