  Widow Darcy Spencer abhors the very idea of marriage, but to become a Pinkerton agent, she must marry her trainer. She's assured that it's in name only, so she begrudgingly takes the position. Although her new husband is infuriating, she’s determined to prove herself worthy as an agent – and as a person. 
  Agent Porter Shaw can’t help but tease his tight-lipped, stubborn bride. She keeps her secrets locked up so dang tight that even his usual charm fails to break through her defenses. When they are assigned a case at a cattle ranch in the Rocky Mountains, they quickly discover that someone is very serious about keeping their own secrets buried. 
  Can a jaded widow and a cocky agent learn to work together, and maybe even find love?

  What came first, the home or the desire to invade? 
   
    
   
  A seasoned invader with multiple home invasions under their belt recounts their dark victories while offering tutelage to a new generation of ambitious home invaders eager to make their mark on the annals of criminal history. From initial canvasing to home entry, the listener is complicit in every strangling and shattered window. The fear is inescapable. 
   
   
   
  Examining the sanctuary of the home and one of the horror genre's most frightening tropes, Anybody Home? points the camera lens onto the quiet suburbs and its unsuspecting abodes, any of which are potential stages for an invader ambitious enough to make it the scene of the next big crime sensation. Who knows? Their performance just might make it to the silver screen.

  One of Those Mothers

  The residents of Point Heed keep nice houses and sign up as parent help at the local school. Occasionally they cheat on their taxes. Sometimes they fantasise about having sex with someone other than their partner. And every now and then they do drugs. But that doesn't make them bad people, does it? 
   
  When a local father is convicted of the possession and distribution of child pornography, the tight-knit, middle-class community is quick to unravel. He is granted permanent name suppression, and soon friend turns on friend, neighbour delivers up neighbour, and hysteria rapidly engulfs them all. Who among them was capable of such moral trespass? 
   
  Bridget, Roz and Lucy have been friends forever. Their lives revolve around their children, their community, each other. With their husbands and kids, they holiday together every year. Every year, until last summer, when everything went so terribly wrong. 
   
  They tell you things are never as bad as you fear, but what if they're worse? Worse than you could have ever imagined. 
   
  Were they all complicit? Certainly, they were guilty of looking in all the wrong places. 
   
  'Domestic noir up there with the best of them. Beautiful settings, believable characters, and a moral quandary to keep you reading through the night - One of Those Mothers is a page turner in all the best ways. JACQUELINE BUBLITZ, Before You Knew My Name 
   
  'With stiletto-sharp observation, vibrantly drawn characters and a deeply disturbing secret at its heart, One of Those Mothers had me in its grasp from the first chapter. A terrific debut.' CHARITY NORMAN, Remember Me 
   
  'Wildly compelling, refreshingly raw exploration of motherhood, friendship and the haunting anxieties of parenthood.' CLAIRE MABEY, Books Editor, The Spinoff, former festival director, Verb Wellington 
   
  'A gloriously claustrophobic and page-turning tale of friendships, relationships and ultimate loyalties. Megan Nicol Reed pins middle-class motherhood to the specimen board and watches it squirm. Compulsory (and cautionary) reading ahead of your next group holiday.' KIM KNIGHT, New Zealand Herald 
   
  'A contemporary tale of complex relationships where loyalties and values are tested. Written by a natural storyteller, it will keep you thinking.' STACEY MORRISON, television and radio host
