'A haunting mystery, lush with landscape, history, memory and a decaying grand estate. At its warm heart, Rose McHugh makes for wonderful company. She's unravelling under pressure here, yet remains brave, funny, vulnerable, true. This is the amateur sleuth's third Southern Highlands rodeo, and Joan Sauers is in whip-cracking form.' Matthew Spencer, author of Black River and Broke Road

'Amateur sleuth Rose McHugh is back, and this time the trail leads to a crumbling Southern Highlands mansion steeped in secrets. Brimming with atmosphere and intrigue, Murder at Thornwood Park is equal parts cosy mystery and compelling thriller.' Kate Horan, author of The Inheritance

Praise for the Rose McHugh Mysteries:

'An intoxicating blend of suspense and melody, Whisky Valley hits all the right notes. A must-read for fans of cosy crime with a touch of mystery and a load of charm.' Joanna Jenkins, author of How to Kill a Client

'Joan Sauers masterfully intertwines intrigue, romance, dogs, and the beauty of the Australian landscape. Her vivid storytelling pulls you into a compelling world you won't be in a hurry to leave. There is a cosy quality to Whisky Valley, but it's cosy with a bite as the reader rushes towards the final dramatic showdown.' Vikki Petraitis, author of The Unbelieved

'As cosy as it is compulsive, Sauers brings the eerie beauty of winter in the Southern Highlands to life. A highly recommended, vivid read!' Jacqueline Bublitz, author of Leave the Girls Behind

'Not just a whodunnit, Echo Lake also contemplates what makes for a good life, reminds the reader of the importance of historical truth and throws in a ghost story for good measure.' Maryrose Cuskelly, author of The Cane

'Move over Miss Marple. With its indefatigable heroine, mist-shrouded setting, cast of quirky characters and as many trips to the pub as there are mysteries to solve, Echo Lake is cosy crime at its dynamic, atmospheric best - and Sauers is certainly a writer to watch.' Anna Downes, author of The Shadow House
