Three housemates

One dead, one missing and one accused of murder.

Dubbed the Housemate Homicide, it’s a mystery that has baffled Australians for almost a decade.

Melbourne-based journalist Olive Groves worked on the story as a junior reporter and became obsessed by the case. Now, nine years later, the missing housemate turns up dead on a remote property. Oli is once again assigned to the story, this time reluctantly paired with precocious millennial podcaster Cooper Ng.

As Oli and Cooper unearth new facts about the three housemates, a dark web of secrets is uncovered. The revelations catapult Oli back to the death of the first housemate, forcing her to confront past traumas and insecurities that have risen to the surface again.

What really happened between the three housemates that night? Will Oli’s relentless search for the murderer put her new family in danger? And could her suspicion that the truth lies closer to home threaten her happiness and even her sanity?

Publishers Weekly—Starred review
”In 2005, reporter Oli Groves, the protagonist of this outstanding standalone set in Australia, is on the scene in St. Kilda when the police make a grim discovery: the stabbed body of University of Melbourne undergrad Evelyn Stanley in the house she’d shared with two other young women, Nicole Horrowitz, who’s disappeared, and Alexandra Riboni. Alexandra, found drenched in blood and holding a knife from which her DNA and bloody fingerprints are recovered, is charged and convicted of Evelyn’s murder. In 2015, Groves revisits the case, which has become a cause célèbre after a report that Nicole’s body was found hanging from a tree next to a house in a remote community. … Logical yet surprising plot twists never overwhelm the sophisticated characterizations that make suspending disbelief almost effortless. The judicious use of flashbacks build tension, and the denouement don’t disappoint.”
