Book of the Month: June 2025
The Body Next Door by Zane Lovitt
Zane Lovitt's new crime fiction is set in the Melbourne suburb of St Albans. Jamie's in the throes of finalising his divorce, looking after his father who has dementia, and eating his feelings into a bigger pair of pants. When the disappearance of a neighbour brings the police, Jamie wonders if the body found 13 years ago next door is associated with Claire's disappearance. As Jamie asks around, an unsettling picture begins to form. Perhaps quiet, respectable Carnation Way is home to the same secrets and heartaches as any other neighbourhood - with a few more murders thrown in.
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Aoife Clifford.
