Hunting Elly's Killer

In Hunting Elly’s Killer, Paul Warren tells the harrowing true crime story of how an Australian father became his own investigator after his 20-year-old daughter Elly was found dead in a small coastal village in Mozambique. It’s a fiercely human account of love and grief colliding with red tape, and it will pull you in with its urgency and emotional clarity.

With local police offering few answers and Australian authorities providing little help, Paul commits his time, money and energy to chasing the truth. He returns to Mozambique again and again, pushing through missing evidence, stalled cooperation and the heavy quiet that can surround a death far from home.

Perfect for readers of true crime, investigative memoir, and stories about justice, grief, and corruption, especially those drawn to international cases and relentless real-life determination.

Add it to your basket if you want a riveting, hard-to-shake read that asks what we owe the people we love.
