My new crime novel, inspired by Sydney North Shore's real life Granny Killer and the life of socialite and wallpaper artist Florence Broadhurst, is out in March 2025. Pre-order links for THE THRILL OF IT are in my bio.

I read an early copy of this book and it is astonishing.
Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, and other infamous figures lived in and around Tacoma in the 60s. Did their psychopathy have a common cause?
Did Lead Poisoning Create a Generation of Serial Killers?
Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, and many other notorious figures lived in and around Tacoma in the sixties. A new book argues that there was something in the water.

Just finished this engrossing, powerful and yes, thrilling novel. I could not put it down. Loved the level of research that went into this book. Of centering the North Shore in a place & time. The women are so well-written and fleshed out. A must-read! Thanks @mandybeaumont.bsky.social.

It is so tragic and highly embarrassing that someone so vile, petty, and bereft of decency is the president. I will never understand or have peace with it.

Labor has run a disciplined if dispiriting campaign, its highest ambition survival; the Coalition has run the worst campaign in living memory, potentially gifting Labor another majority government term it's done the bare minimum to earn. Inspiring stuff.

Powerhouse true crime writer and podcaster, journo and fiction writer, Matt Condon is an author whose work I revere. He had this to say about THE THRILL OF IT. Clearly I'm blown away by this. What a legend.
