Murder in Murloo: A Dusty Kent Mystery

Can evil lurk in the heart of an ordinary person?

A young woman lies dead. Gabby Peters was strangled in her own home. One year later the killer still has not been caught.

The victim’s parents call in Dusty Kent; an investigative journalist with an impeccable record in solving cold case murders. Dusty’s determination to investigate unresolved crime is fuelled by a personal connection through her own family tragedy.
Is the killer Gabby’s fiancé or one of her friends? Is it the neighbour with the mass of dreadlocks or spiteful old Edna from down the road? They are all hiding secrets. Which one is hiding the worst secret of all?

The hopes of Gabby’s grieving family rest on Dusty Kent. However, this case tests her to the limit and she despairs of ever catching the callous killer who hides in plain sight. Will that killer strike again?

A shining example of Australian Crime Fiction. If you like Agatha Christie, Elizabeth George, Louise Penny or Anne Cleeves, you must read Murder in Murloo.

Brigid George grew up in a small Australian town called Orbost in the state of Victoria. She spent her childhood chasing snakes and lizards down hollow logs, playing Hansel and Gretel in the bush with her brothers, climbing trees, searching the local rubbish tip for books to read and generally behaving like a feral child. To avoid her boisterous brothers she often escaped into the hayshed with a book. Hours and hours of reading from an early age trained her for life as a writer. In primary school her teachers called her ’the one with the Enid Blyton touch’. Her love of reading murder mysteries as an adult has now evolved into a love of writing them. As a teenager she had short stories published in one of Australia’s national magazines, New Idea. Since then she has won several awards for her stories which have also been published in anthologies. Brigid still lives in the state of Victoria but is now in the capital city of Melbourne where her life is fertile with friends. Brigid George is the pseudonym of JB Rowley - author of Whisper My Secret, Mother of Ten and the children’s series Trapped in Gondwana. Why Brigid George? Brigid because that was what JB’s father called her. George because that was his first name.
