Critics Review
‘Johnson has written a mystery laden with dark secrets, suspense, and small-town menace, while crafting young adult characters realistic and complex enough for a coming-of-age novel to infiltrate by stealth.’ * The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald *‘Some people are born storytellers, and physiotherapist Luke Johnson’s crime novel debut leaves no doubt he’s a member of that elite club, crafting a read that captivates from the get-go.’ * Geelong Advertiser *‘Enjoyable and impressive for a debut.’ * Good Reading *
About The Author
Luke Johnson
Luke Johnson is from Ocean Grove, Victoria, and is a Senior Physiotherapist. He was the physio for the Geelong Football Club while being a Western Bulldogs supporter, giving him a good understanding of a dual narrative. Luke has always been a writer at heart and has three novels in a drawer, but when COVID-19 hit, he decided that now was the time to take his shot. Luke then won the 2021 Bellarine Writers Competition short story competition and was the Equal Second Prize Winner of the Sorrento Creative Writer Prize. Gerald Murnane said Luke’s writing was “impressive,” “very appealing,” and “possesses material, natural sensibilities and instincts.”
