By: Caroline Overington

Now in one volume you can read free sample chapters from all of Caroline Overington's bestselling novels Ghost Child, I Came to Say Goodbye, Matilda is Missing and Sisters of Mercy... GHOST CHILD: In 1982 Victorian police were called to a home on a housing estate an hour west of Melbourne. There, they found a five-year-old boy, Jacob, lying on the carpet. He died the next day. The boy's mother and her boyfriend went to prison for the crime, yet the real perpetrator, at least according to local gossip, was the boy's six-year-old sister, Lauren... Twenty years on, Lauren struggles with the ghosts of her childhood, and it seems only a matter of time before the past catches up with her. I CAME TO SAY GOODBYE: It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was. She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next. The woman walked out to the car park, clipped the infant into a car, got in and drove off. That is where the footage ends. It isn't where the story ends, however. It's not even where the story starts. MATILDA IS MISSING: Garry Hartshorn and Softie Monaghan were never love’s young dream. Not even on their wedding day. But Softie’s body clock was ticking, and Garry wanted children ...So they got married, and produced the only thing they ever had in common. Matilda. Now, two years later, their golden-haired child is at the centre of a bitter custody battle. Both parents insist that her well-being is the only thing they care about. Yet, in truth, Matilda was always the one most likely to become lost. SISTERS OF MERCY: Snow Delaney was born a generation and a world away from her sister, Agnes. Until recently neither even knew of the other’s existence. They came together only after the reading of their father’s will – when Snow discovered, to her horror, that she was not the sole beneficiary of his large estate. Now Snow is in prison and Agnes is missing. With no other family left, Snow turns to crime journalist Jack Fawcett, protesting her innocence in a series of defiant letters. Has she been unfairly judged? Or will Jack’s own research reveal a story even more shocking than the one Snow wants to tell?

I Came To Say Goodbye

By: Caroline Overington

Caroline Overington's bestseller is a heart-breaking, utterly compelling novel of a family ripped apart. It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was. She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next, and most Australians would have seen it, either on the internet or the news. The woman walked out to the car park, towards an old Corolla. For a moment, she held the child gently against her breast and, with her eyes closed, she smelled her. She then clipped the infant into the car, got in and drove off. That is where the footage ends. It isn't where the story ends, however. It's not even where the story starts.

Can You Keep a Secret?

By: Caroline Overington

With her customary page-turning style and potent themes, this is Caroline Overington at her thought-provoking best. 'Why do some people decide to get married when everyone around them would seem to agree that marriage, at least for the two people in question, is a terrifically bad idea?' The year is 1999, and Lachlan Colbert - Colby - has the world at his feet. He's got a big job on Wall Street and a sleek bachelor pad in the heart of Manhattan. With money no object, he and his friends take a trip to Australia to see in the new millennium. And it's there, on a hired yacht sailing the Whitsundays, that he meets Caitlin. Caitlin Hourigan has got wild hair and torn shorts - and has barely ever left the small patch of Queensland where she grew up. But Colby is smitten and for Caitlin, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, a blissful future awaits - marriage, a big house, a beautiful little boy. But nothing is ever as perfect as it seems. And for Lachlan and Caitlin the nightmare is only just beginning.

No Place Like Home

By: Caroline Overington

Shortly after 9.30 in the morning, a young man walks into Surf City, Bondi s newest shopping complex. He s wearing a dark grey hoodie and a bomb around his neck. Just a few minutes later he is locked in a shop on the upper floor. And trapped with him are four innocent bystanders. For police chaplain Paul Doherty, called to the scene by Superintendent Boehm, it s a story that will end as tragically as it began. For this is clearly no ordinary siege. The boy, known as Ali Khan, seems as frightened as his hostages, and has yet to utter a single word. The seconds tick by for the five in the shop: Mitchell, the talented schoolboy; Mouse, the shop assistant; Kimmi, the nail-bar technician; and Roger Callaghan, the real estate agent whose reason for being in Bondi that day is far from innocent. And of course there s Ali Khan. Is he the embodiment of evil, as the villagers in his Tanzanian birthplace believe? Or simply an innocent boy, betrayed at every turn, who just wants a place to call home?

Last Woman Hanged

By: Caroline Overington

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Last Woman Hanged

By: Caroline Overington

One woman. Two husbands. Four trials. One bloody execution. The last woman hanged in NSW. In January 1889, Louisa Collins, a 41 - year - old mother of ten children, became the first woman hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol and the last woman hanged in New South Wales. Both of Louisa's husbands died suddenly. The Crown was convinced that Louisa poisoned them with arsenic and, to the horror of many in the legal community, put her on trial an extraordinary four times in order to get a conviction. Louisa protested her innocence until the end. Now, in Last Woman Hanged, writer and journalist Caroline Overington delves into the archives to re - examine the original forensic reports, court documents, judges' notebooks, witness statements and police and gaol records, in an effort to discover the truth. Much of the evidence against Louisa was circumstantial. Some of the most important testimony was given by her only daughter, May, who was just 10 years old when asked to take the stand. The historical context is also important: Louisa Collins was hanged at a time when women were in no sense equal under the law - except when it came to the gallows. Women could not vote or stand for parliament - or sit on juries. There were no female politicians and no women judges. Against this background, a small group of women rose up to try to save Louisa's life, arguing that a legal system comprising only men - male judges, all - male jury, male prosecutor, governor and Premier - could not with any integrity hang a woman. The tenacity of these women would not save Louisa but it would ultimately carry women from their homes all the way to Parliament House. Less than 15 years after Louisa was hanged, Australian women would become some of the first in the world to get the vote. They would take seats in State parliament, and in Canberra. They would become doctors, lawyers, judges, premiers - even the Prime Minister. Caroline says: 'My hope is that Last Woman Hanged will be read not only as a true crime story but as a letter of profound thanks to that generation of women who fought so hard for the rights we still enjoy today.

Other Girls to Burn

By: Caroline Crew

Other Girls to Burn is a collection of formally inventive essays that explores the relationship between women and violence, from the Santa Barbara shooting to 13th century virgin martyrs, mixed martial arts, true crime, and rape culture. What does it mean for women to be complicit in the violence of the patriarchy? How do women navigate risk as well as revel in thrill? What does it mean to both fear and perpetuate violence? The essays in this collection are in conversation with contemporary nonfiction writers such as Maggie Nelson, Sarah Manguso and Anne Boyer. These formally inventive, lyric-leaning essays shift between cultural criticism and personal essay. The book coheres around a central motif of female mystics"--
