Description

Tense, atmospheric, you wont know who to trust An Aussie crime fiction star in the making. Candice Fox, author of Crimson Lake and Devils Kitchen

A year after a tragic incident splintered their friendship, three women travel to Marcoy, a regional town, in attempt to reconnect.

Melissa has slept much of the past twelve months away, and she hopes this weekend will help her re-emerge from the depression shes been living with.

Bridie worries that she is not a good enough mother. She worries about most things, really, but shes dealing with things just fine. At least thats what she tells herself.

What Cassandra really needs is a break, so shes come away to forget it all, to enjoy a cab sav and an open fire and the company of her long-lost friends.

This weekend is about being together, about enjoying their friendship the way they used to, while notat any costhaving to address the reason for the distance between them. But when they witness a young girl being coerced into a car by a man she fears, they are forced to reckon with the chasm of grief and trauma thats kept them apart.

Everywhere We Look explores domestic abuse, the dynamics of female friendship, and the danger that can hide in plain sight.
