When will my order arrive?

J.P. Pomare has given us another juicy small-town read . . . Expect plenty of twists and turns in this thriller' WOMAN'S DAY It takes a special kind of genius to create twisty, thrilling novels that can be read in a single satisfying sitting' Good Reading Magazine When Lou discovers Samuel isn’t with his girlfriend, more alarm bells begin to ring, and Lou can’t help but think it has something to do with events from her past with Samuel’s father Marko. And if that’s the case it’s bad, really bad. It takes a special kind of genius to create twisty, thrilling novels that can be read in a single satisfying sitting’ Good Reading Magazine I’ve been increasingly enjoying JP Pomare’s work over the years. His latest release is actually a re-release of an audiobook (via Audible) from late 2022. I noted a few authors were doing something similar – releasing audiobooks or even novellas in the form of ebooks. It probably means this is a little shorter than usual. It’s very much in his style though… some slightly devious storytelling that has us making certain assumptions only to find out later that we were duped. Home Before Night

Books are amazing to read - escapism at its best. But, do you ever wonder how the author wrote it or what inspired it?A clever and twisty tale involving secrets from the past that have a habit of turning up when you least expect it. Mostly told by Lou, the story centres around the disappearance of her son, Samuel. Lots of suspense and a twist I didn’t see coming. J.P. has done it again! Judi, NSW, 4 Stars Includes an exclusive extract of the next J. P. Pomare thriller, Seventeen Years Later , publishing in 2024. An expertly plotted mystery with echoes of Lee Child. I raced through it and missed it once I finished' ALLIE REYNOLDS It’s not clear, however, if Lou’s instincts can be trusted. She’s a heavy drinker, and presents as perhaps a little paranoid, in part troubled by a secret from her past that Pomare teases out. Deft plotting suggests several possible reasons for Sam’s absence, ensuring the reveal will likely come as a surprise.
