About this ebook
‘The Pool is Christos Tsiolkas’s The Slap with an added whodunnit layer.’ – Books+Publishing
Prince of spin and life of the party, Baz King, is missing. Nine years ago, at an innocent summer barbecue in Melbourne, everything imploded. For the Kings and the four other young families there that fateful day marriages fractured, friendships crumbled and lives were upended.
Nothing would ever be the same.
Now in their forties and their children teenagers, Baz King cannot be found. Has his charm finally run out? With a history of dodgy dealings and no shortage of motives, anyone could be a suspect – his ex-wife, Birdie; his colleague, Alex Turner; his lover, Jess and her husband, Richard; his friend’s nanny and new wife, Madison – who wants him out of the picture?
A biting domestic noir, The Pool examines the enduring shrapnel of tragedy: if you witness the worst thing imaginable, how does it change you? Could it make you a murderer?
PRAISE FOR THE POOL
‘delivers twists you won’t see coming’ – The Age
‘Hannah Tunnicliffe creates a tangled web of love, betrayal and tragedy … It gripped me from start to finish.’ Anna Snoekstra, author of The Ones We Love
‘a bold and deeply intriguing story of morally ambiguous lives … it depicts a world full of domestic and corporate duplicity that could very well be the one you’re living in right now’ Lyn Yeowart, author of The Silent Listener
‘for fans of Garry Disher and Robert Gott—and anyone who loves a classic Australian mystery.’ –Books+Publishing
