From the winner of the 2025 Davitt Award for crime fiction

Poke a sore spot in a tight community, and tensions will flare.

Gorgeous writing and an unfolding plot rich in both menace and sensuality, Dove shows just how impactful the best psychological thrillers can be.
β€” JACQUELINE BUBLITZ

After a violent interaction with her neighbour, Dove has had enough and paints a provocative question on the tourist route-facing wall of her small subsistence farm.

WOMEN- What would you do if you had a whole day on earth free of men?

Slowly, the women residents of this town in the Sunshine Coast hinterland start to make their own additions. Secrets, shame, hopes, dreams, and violent homes are revealed. The town is unsettled. The local 'good blokes' start looking at each other askance, generational divides are revealed, relationships implode, and tension builds.

When media starts following the story of the wall and threats start appearing among the dreams and statements, all are on edge. And Dove realises her secret romance might hold unexpected dangers.

But no one thought it would all end in murder.
