Kylie Orr and Jo Dixon Author Talks
We are so lucky to have two Australian authors visiting Bunjil Place Library to tell us about their new domestic suspense novels.
Kylie Orr writes dark and twisty contemporary fiction. Through her books, Kylie delves into the complex stories of everyday people and their secret lives behind closed doors. Her new novel is titled The Eleventh Floor.
Jo Dixon writes stories full of imperfect characters dealing with unsettling situations and making fatal mistakes. There is intrigue and mystery, the moodiness and underlying threat of the wild environment, and provocative twists and turns. Her new novel is titled A Shadow at the door.
