The most intriguing new crime novel of the year from Ned Kelly Award winning author Zane Lovitt perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Aoife Clifford.Everybody needs good neighbours...When Claire Corral goes missing from her home on Carnation Way, her neighbour Jamie isn't too concerned. He's busy-caring for his dad, recovering from a broken heart and eating himself into a bigger pair of pants.Then the police turn up.Is Claire's disappearance connected with the body found next door thirteen years ago? Does Jamie's father, now grappling with dementia, know more about these events than he should? And then there's Tess, equal parts mysterious and charming, who just moved in at number thirty-five...As Jamie asks around, an unsettling picture begins to form. Perhaps quiet, respectable Carnation Way is home to the same secrets and heartaches as any other neighbourhood-with a few more murders thrown in.Zane Lovitt, the Ned Kelly Award-winning author of The Midnight Promise, returns with a gloriously entertaining and compelling suburban mystery-thriller.PRAISE FOR ZANE LOVITT-'The Midnight Promise delivers.

Shane Maloney' Lovitt has an attentive ear for language and a nuanced understanding of how quite ordinary extraordinary people may find themselves up to their necks in trouble. This is original Australian crime fiction of the first order.' Age on Black Teeth'It's Aussie noir, but much funnier than your standard noir, and Lovitt is a wonderfully inventive writer.' New Zealand Listener on Black Teeth
