The Check-Out Girl

International bestseller Caz Frear returns with a deliciously dark suburban nightmare.

Evelyn has traded a high-flying university HR career for the checkout at her local supermarket. A quieter life. A safer life. The kind of life you choose when you’ve left your last job abruptly, without a reference - and with something very ugly to hide.

Then JP and Tara walk in.

Young, beautiful and in love, they become Evelyn’s latest obsession. At first she only watches them. Then she gets closer. Then closer still.

But when tragedy strikes, the question isn’t just what Evelyn has done.

It’s what everyone else is hiding.
