Freycinet, by Melanie Calvert, is a gripping new psychological murder mystery set in the Tasmanian wilderness.

Ginny O’Byrne arrives at Freycinet National Park with her fiancé Julian, only to be haunted by a series of strange, clairvoyant visions of two murdered young women. The next morning two women are missing. Within 24 hours, Ginny is part of a massive Search and Rescue mission, surrounded by people who may in fact be responsible for the murder of the missing women, tormented by her gruesome visions, and embroiled in an eerie atmosphere that is becoming increasingly threatening.

Freycinet effectively presents Tasmania as a place of beauty, but also one of mystery and murder; an enigmatic living museum with a history of harsh cruelty, and a strange Gothic potency.

The author, Melanie Calvert, explains: “Freycinet contains all the things that I find fascinating about Tasmania; its beauty, its dramatic scenery, its essential, inherent danger.I wanted the novel to be like Picnic at Hanging Rock orTwin Peaks with that same sense of atmospheric horror.”

And Freycinet will keep you guessing right until the end as to who exactly the real murderer is.

Freycinet is available from bookshops and online, or as an ebook from Amazon.com.
