Description

A taut crime thriller about a city on edge, a killer playing games, and the two women determined to bring him down.

Melbourne is gripped by fear after a backpacker's body is found with a cryptic note, and two more women vanish without trace. When photographs begin to arrive in the inboxes of the media and police, it's clear the killer isn't hiding - they are performing.

Journalist Oli Groves, founder of a fledgling digital news site, knows the story could make or break her. Rookie detective Penelope Kibbs, still trying to prove herself, is desperate to stop the violence before more women are lost. But they soon realise the danger runs deeper than one killer - and closer than they want to believe.

With Click, Sarah Bailey proves herself a master of modern crime fiction, blending relentless suspense with sharp insight into obsession, corruption and survival.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Well that was a wild ride! Click is told from two distinct POVs, Olive ‘Oli’ Groves, investigative journalist, and Detective Constable Penelope ‘Pen’ Kibbs. The story is set in Melbourne in early 2020 when Covid had not yet been labeled a pandemic.
We follow both FMCs as they investigate the disappearances and murders of multiple women across the city. Are these murders connected? Is there a serial killer on the loose trying to be the next Zodiac?
Tough issues are discussed like DV, violence against women and the manosphere, while following a 24 hour news cycle. This story is fast paced and keeps you guessing up until those final chapters. The action really kicks in at the 70% mark and I found myself not wanting to put the book down until I got to the conclusion.
