WIN 1 Of 10 Book Packs Packed with Compelling Reads From Allen & Unwin!

90 Entriess

Love getting lost in a good book? We’ve got the perfect prize for your next reading binge!

Thanks to Allen & Unwin, we’re giving you the chance to win one of 10 book packs, each packed with three compelling reads worth $104.97.

From gripping psychological suspense to clever cosy crime and a sharp, thought-provoking look at girlhood and social media, there’s something here for every kind of reader. Each pack includes The Followers by Maree Spratt, The Missing Mother by Mali Cornish and Murder at Thornwood Park by Joan Sauers.

The Followers by Maree Spratt

The Followers is a sharp debut that explores themes of peer pressure, girlhood, identity, social capital, and how schoolyard dynamics translate to social media.

‘I could not put this book down: Maree Spratt’s characters gripped me from the first sentence. The Followers is a sophisticated and serious satire, showing the machinations of the minds of young pre-teen girls with the depth they so deserve, but rarely get, in literature.’ Alice Pung
AUD $34.99

The Missing Mother by Mali Cornish

A razor-sharp psychological suspense thriller for fans of Gillian Flynn about the family secrets that bind us – and break us.

‘Richly observed and deliciously dark. I defy you not to fall for this damaged narrator who sees what other people don’t. This is a story of trying (and failing) to leave your past behind, delivered with a stylish and sly malevolence that lingers long after the last page. Mali Cornish is a gift from the writing gods.’ Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Town and Girl Falling
AUD $34.99

Murder at Thornwood Park: A Rose McHugh Mystery by Joan Sauers

For lovers of smart and witty cosy crime. Set within an intriguing village community of friends, neighbours (and enemies), all living at the edge of the atmospheric forests of the mysterious Southern Highlands, historian turned detective, Rose McHugh, channels her expert skills to solve an historical series of murders.
AUD $34.99

  • I’d choose Murder at Thornwood Park—my boobs already live a daily mystery: where did they go, and why won’t my bra cooperate?

  • I’d most love to read The Missing Mother. After spending all day answering “Mummy?” approximately four hundred times, there’s something wonderfully cheeky about that title! A suspenseful mystery, a hot cuppa and a quiet house after toddler bedtime sounds like my ideal little escape.

  • Id love to read murder at thornpark. Being from near the southern highlands I love reading something semi local. Mind wonders on is it story or is there true facts in there too. Oooh interesting read

  • M ystery calling,
    I ntrigue on every page,
    S ecrets unfolding,
    S uspense takes the stage,
    I ’ll keep guessing,
    N o bedtime in sight—
    G ive me The Missing Mother and I’ll read all night! 📚🔎

  • The Missing Mother sounds really good, I love a good suspense story to keep me on the edge of my seat. I’m on a reading challenge and at 78 books for the year so far I am needing more!

  • The Missing Mother! I’d love a gripping escape from mum-life mysteries, laundry and “Muuuum!”—preferably somewhere my boobs can relax and my bra stays put!

  • definatly the followers. having 5 girls im always terrified of how everything cant be turned to social media

  • The Missing Mother. I love the suspense of a compelling thriller. A story that has me never wanting to close the book until the end!

  • They all sound good, I was going to say the missing mother, as sometimes, I like to go missing, for like 5mins just to get a break, but the followers looks really good, and has I have a teen daughter, and nieces, it might be a good read to know more about what they might be going through.

  • To date I haven’t read any of these Authors. By the covers they look like the story would be a nail biter and excellent read for a lazy rainy Sunday lay in

  • Such a great selection of Aussie Writers but I shall select The Missing Mother. I love to escape into a good book and Mali Cornish has a way of writing that sweeps me in and wont let go even once the book is finished it will stick with me. Perfect.

  • I have two little girls, while we are a long way from teenage years, I want to do everything I can to raise them to be sure in their self esteem, and grounded among their peers in this digital world. I will take any help I can get!
    Reading is also my escape from my chaotic life. I will read anything you put in front of me!

  • I would like to read The Missing Mother it seems like a book I would read full of suspense

  • Murder at Thornwood Park as I feel as though I need a murder mystery in my life!

  • The Missing Mother, I’m game to absorb this story, that sounds like my life!

  • The Missing Mother, I’m game to absorb this story, that sounds like my life!

  • Murder at Thornwood Park is my top pick! I adore a smart, witty cosy crime story, and a historian-turned-detective solving historical murders against the atmospheric backdrop of the Southern Highlands sounds like the ultimate weekend escape.

  • The followers. I have teenagers who love social media.

  • I love Murder Mysteries so “Murder at Thornwood Park” would be my first choice of book although it really is a difficult choice as the other books sound equally interesting and a good read

  • The Missing Mother, because after a day of being needed by everyone, I’d love a gripping escape where nobody can interrupt me with “Mum!” A few quiet pages, a twisty mystery and a little me time after bedtime sounds like the perfect way to disappear for a while.
