This is the follow-up novel to Kellie’s debut Heiress on Fire, and once again we join billion-heiress Indigo and her assistant Esmerelda as they get involved with murders most fancy.

Home for just 48 hours, billion-heiress Indigo-Daisy-Violet-Amber Hasluck-Royce-Jones-Bombberg has already committed two (completely understandable) felonies, reignited a childhood feud, been (possibly) humiliated (again) by her first love, and fallen over a nameless homeless dead man. All while strolling in her grandmother's garden...

Kellie loves to entertain her readers, and this book sure does that. So here is Kellie McCourt and her latest novel Murder Most Fancy.

Deception Creek is the latest novel from the very popular rural fiction author, whose bestselling novels include Red Dust, Blue Skies, Purple Roads, Silver Clouds, Crimson Dawn, Emerald Springs, Indigo Storm, Sapphire Falls, and many, many, many more! In fact, this is her 18th novel.

We spoke to Fleur way back in episode 2 of the So You Want to be a Writer podcast, when she had ONLY published 5 books. It’s really fascinating, actually, because that was at the beginning of the Australian rural fiction boom - and it has steadily increased in popularity since then.

Before Fleur reads the prologue of her book, she answers a few quite thorny questions about the rural fiction genre.

The Safe Place is the latest novel from the bestselling thriller writer whose previous books include Widow’s Island, Prey and Devour - and she is the presenter of Australian Writers' Centrey popular course Crime and Thriller Writing.

Everyone in Eagle Falls knows Jessie Lewis. Ever since she reported her boyfriend, fire chief and local hero, for beating her, she’s been an outcast from the small town. But when someone sets fire to a house not far from Jessie’s, killing the entire Troyer family in their beds, the locals turn on her once again. And when rumors circulate about her very public argument with Paul Troyer, they take it as proof that she killed them.

Before she reads from her novel, L.A. Larkin answers a few questions we asked her about the themes in this book so that you can get insight into the mind both of a thriller writer – and a criminal.
