Murder At Thornwood Park

Murder At Thornwood Park by Joan Sauers is a smart, witty cosy crime novel set in a village community on the edge of the atmospheric forests of the mysterious Southern Highlands. If you like your mysteries layered with sharp observation, local secrets and a touch of dry humour, this one is a treat.

Historian-turned-detective Rose McHugh arrives with a researcher’s eye and a knack for noticing what others miss. As tensions simmer between friends, neighbours and long-held enemies, a troubling pattern emerges: the present seems to echo an older, half-buried history of murders. The closer Rose gets to the truth, the more the town’s tidy façade starts to fray.

Perfect for readers who enjoy cosy mysteries with an intelligent sleuth, a richly drawn cast, and an Australian setting that feels both familiar and quietly unsettling.

Settle in and start investigating—Thornwood Park has secrets worth uncovering.
