New on the site - The Grapevine by @katekemp.bsky.social reviewed

It's fascinating when a 12-year-old ant-loving girl starts investigating the discovery of a human foot in suburban Canberra.
What a debut, says @sandramangan.bsky.social 🇦🇺

"Australia, 1979. It's the height of summer and on a quiet suburban cul-de-sac a housewife is scrubbing the yellow and white chequered tiles of her bathroom floor. But all is not as it seems. For one thing, it's 3 a.m. For another, she is trying desperately to remove all traces of blood before they stain. Her husband seems remarkably calm, considering their neighbour has just been murdered.

I absolutely loved The Grapevine, by @katekemp.bsky.social - brilliantly gripping and atmospheric, with such great characters - secrets, lies, and all. (Also, an excellent cat). Out in March 2025 from Phoenix Books. Thank you so much to @francescamain.bsky.social for the proof!
