About this book

One of a group of hardy cold-water lady swimmers in Tasmania meets an untimely death. Was it murder? Who was responsible? An intriguing thriller set on the beautiful ‘Apple Isle’.

 Alison and Jude Alexander are mother and daughter co-authors. This new novel follows their successful Death at a Festival that resulted when Alison nobly agreed to accompany Jude to one of the most hardcore alternative-lifestyle festivals in Australia - against her own better judgement and to the horror of friends and family.
