You should leave the past in the past . . . or should you? A vividly told, jaw-droppingly twisty and wholly engaging story about the consequences of discovering the truth. For readers of Sally Hepworth, Nicola Moriarty and Adele Parks. After a humiliating public scandal, Olivia is hiding from the press in a remote Tasmanian house when an unknown man knocks on her door, seeking Pippa, a woman who once lived there. His father, Jeremy, has died, leaving behind a letter for this mysterious woman. Olivia wants to help, but can she risk revealing her own sordid past? Thirty years earlier, bohemian wild-child Pippa and her best friend Jeremy spend a perfect summer in the house. Pippa falls deeply in love with local boy Leo, and they begin to plan a life of adventure together, much to the displeasure of his conservative and controlling family. One night Leo leaves the house to confront his parents . . . and is never seen again. As Olivia is drawn into solving the mystery, the unexpected and tragic story of Pippa, Jeremy and Leo is slowly uncovered. At the same time, a path to reclaiming her own life opens, if only she has the courage to take it. ' This intriguing, decades-long mystery combines endearing but flawed characters, deadly secrets, and a deliciously twisty plot' Sarah Barrie
Over ten years ago, Jo moved from suburban Brisbane to rural Tasmania. Since then, she' s been wrangling an ever-growing collection of animals, bringing up two sons, and attempting to transform blackberry-infested paddocks into beautiful gardens. Now, she also writes full-time, creating twisty, suspenseful stories that feature flawed characters who' ve made mistakes, but who turn out to be stronger than they think. Jo has been a dental assistant, an event co-ordinator, a travel agent, and run an online shop-never really believing her passion for writing could lead to anything. In 2015, While living in Bangkok with her husband and kids, she completed an MA in Writing-realising along the way that she had to stop procrastinating and just write (and finish) at least one book. So with the mantra ' if not now, when? ' stuck to her computer, she did. The House of Now and Then is her debut novel. She is now working on her second book.
