We had such a great time getting to know Australia

We had such a great time getting to know Australian crime writer Christian White over the weekend, both at the bookshop and the Queenscliffe Literary Festival, where we chatted to him all about his latest novel, ‘The Ledge’ (@affirmpress).

We highly highly recommend this engrossing read for anyone who loves twisty thrillers, and we now have plenty of signed stock at the shop as an added bonus!
