Set in Melbourne, In Jeopardy is a dark, dirty-realist tale of psychological drama and betrayal depicting Christine's crisis. Other characters pulled into her world reveal that their lives are also struck by disruption, drama and loss threatening their sense of self. How do they navigate the chaos and randomness of modern day life? How do they respond to uncomfortable truths about themselves? As character's lives converge and diverge their separation and connectedness is revealed. Uncanny synchronicities heighten the precarious nature of the situation Christine is forced to face when Richard throws her out of his life. Betrayal is a key theme and source of disturbance. Romance serves as a complication, but softens the novel's pervasive grim tone. In Jeopardy is a dark tale and mood piece depicting the world as a forbidding place and touches of the supernatural enhance the story's sense of randomness. Even acts of kindness are eerie and warn that an individual's life is on a knife's edge, courting disaster and tragedy. Stories within stories mirror Christine's plight.
