Think your neighborhood is safe? Think again.
‘A compelling reminder that even the most tranquil streets can harbour dark secrets.’
This is another gripping collection of Australia’s most disturbing true crime cases from acclaimed true crime author and podcaster Emily Webb—committed in the very places we call home.
From quiet streets to rural towns, these cases reveal the chilling reality that danger often lives right next door. Among them: a newlywed couple found murdered in country New South Wales, the suspicious 1950 confession of a husband after his wife’s high-profile disappearance, and decades of baby abductions from hospitals, suburban homes, and public streets. A gunman opens fire at a suburban cricket match. Attempted murder by poisoned chocolates sent in the post. And the murder of a much-loved grocer remains unsolved to this day.
These are the stories that keep you awake at night—because they could have happened just down your street.
PRAISE FOR EMILY WEBB
‘Suburban True Crime is a cracking read. It’s full of suspense and mystery — but not of the Hollywood variety — instead Emily Webb writes about our streets and suburbs.’ – The AU Review
‘Webb certainly whets the appetite for more reading around these cases … A solid addition to any true crime lover’s bookshelf.’ – GLAM
‘Her telling of a range of tales reads as factual, careful and very considered … That doesn’t mean that she shies away from explaining what happened to many of these victims, it, fortunately, lacks the sensationalism that can sometimes be found in these sorts of accounts.’ – AustralianCrimeFiction.org
