Crime writer Evie Howland is officially beginning a 'happily ever after'. In life, that is. Not in fiction.


She isn't planning to write anything fictional for a while, especially not the screenplay she just started. That's because her two most beloved characters, NYPD detectives Jay Ryan and Carolyn Harding are part of reality now, and her closest friends.


And she wants to keep it that way.


But when a murder victim is found in Central Park, Evie realises she's made a mistake somehow, and unleashed her own brand of fictional havoc on the real world-again. Not to mention that there's a new character on the loose: handsome mystery man Chris Murray, a brilliant thief with an equally brilliant smile and possibly a heart of gold. Is he involved in the murder?


To chase down answers from Murray, Evie must dive headfirst (literally) into his story, which turns out to be a lot more dangerous than she anticipated. There's a good chance she might not make it out alive.


Will she be able to redeem her mistakes, or will she end up losing everything that matters most?

Industry Reviews

Praise for Crime Writer



Sheppard writes with verve...revealing a deep knowledge of detective-novel conventions and a keen understanding of human behaviour to boot...engaging through all its twists and turns... [a] gripping postmodern crime novel.

Kirkus

...a thrilling, more-ish novel...Sheppard masterfully depicts her characters with a sense of real-worldliness. Her characters' insecurities go hand in hand with their action-packed lives, ultimately making them more honest and authentic. Add in some well-placed wit, romance and a plot twist, and I devoured this story in two days.

Others Magazine

This is a breathlessly fast paced book... terrifically written with great quotes scattered throughout... An excellent read.

Sydney Arts Guide


Such an original and absorbing novel...A wonderful debut; an absolute pleasure to read.

City Hub Sydney

Fresh and original...one of my favourite new authors.

The Record

Equal parts detective thriller and meta giggle-fest...impeccably literary; beautifully written and self-aware. I've never read anything like it. This is an extraordinarily good and challenging debut.

3D Radio

...had me captured from the moment I turned the first page...This novel was a refreshing change that kept me guessing from start to finish as all the best books should. Sheppard writes her characters with a quirky realism that makes the reader feel part of the story and the characters come to life. One of my favourite new authors.

1079Life Radio

...will explode away the cobwebs of other formulaic offerings and detonate a desire to play around in their world with a second reading.
