Some women just can't take a joke.
At least, that's what locals tell the police when a man is found gruesomely murdered at the pub in a tiny outback town. All fingers point to the backpackers working behind the bar that night - sorority sisters Beth and Lauren, who skipped town before the body was discovered.
Despite all the evidence against them, rookie cop Tara Harrison knows there must be more to this case. But even as she tries to prove their innocence, Tara discovers that Beth and Lauren have dark secrets of their own - secrets they've sworn to take to the grave...
Sun-drenched, suspenseful and addictive, with a cast of fierce, unforgettable women, Blood Sisters is the irresistible must-read of 2023. Perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Liane Moriarty and Taylor Jenkins-Reid.

Beth and Lauren are backpackers from California who have run out of money in Western Australia. When they take jobs in a seedy outback bar whose owner hires girls to attract custom from a mining company, they become targets of a group of thuggish men.
