Her most recent is the hit crime, Dead Tide, released in January 2023 and set in South Australia, which opened in the National Top 10 and instantly became the #1 bestselling Australian fiction title in its first week. The fourth in her Jack Hawksworth series, it held the top position for three consecutive weeks. The newest, Foul Play, was published in January this year.
