The Bunny Club

Evelyn Sinclair, morning television host, is adored by her public but she's on the outer with management at her television station, and unknown to anyone, she is being 'let go'.

She escapes the stress for a weekend in her home in the Southern Highlands, planning to meet a man she's been seeing for some time. But instead of a weekend of champagne and romance, she is found dead in disturbing and mysterious circumstances.

The death of 'Australia's darling' is such a big deal that the Prime Minister is informed, but it's kept under wraps to the public while the detectives assigned to the case are sworn to secrecy as they go about piecing together precisely what occurred in the luxury home.

Why did the station boss pay her a visit? Who delivered a bunch of long-stemmed yellow roses to her dressed in PPE gear? Who is Evelyn Sinclair's mystery lover? What on earth is a group of quirky individuals with pink plush bunnies on their backpacks doing when they gather each week in a Potts Point apartment?

Blanche d'Alpuget's latest novel is a racy tale of crime, intrigue, tragedy and ultimately, a quest for belonging, atonement and redemption-a story where nothing is as it appears, and the truth is more chilling than anyone could have imagined.
