If you ever wonder why the disempowered sometimes pick on people with less power, or worry what embarrassing secrets a rummage through your home might reveal, or if you’re just looking for a novel that is sad and funny and vicious and vivid, this is the book for you. -- Catherine Mayer
'One Woman Crime Wave is a riptide of a ride! Filled with characters who are both utterly unique and deeply recognizable, it’s a vivid invitation to ponder questions of privilege, inequality, and familial love. At the same time, the characters’ unexpected predicaments and Bee Rowlatt’s lively prose will keep readers hooked to the very end.' -- Jean Hegland
'Bee Rowlatt’s witty and smart coming of age novel artfully examines the complexities of class and privilege through a sharp and contemporary lens. Prepare to be captivated by its vivid characters and resonant truths.' -- Tahmima Anam

'Put a bit of grit in your beach read and a thrillerish twist in your sundowner this summer with Bee Rowlatt’s One Woman Crime Wave. Rowlatt’s deft tragicomedy of middle-class bad manners is as unnerving as it is irresistibly entertaining. Ashleigh is a superbly intriguing and unforgettable anti-heroine – like or loathe her, she’ll never let you forget her.' -- Rachel Holmes
What Bee manages to achieve in terms of character depth in such a slim novel is quite remarkable. It's fresh, it's gripping, it's great. I loved it. -- Laura Pearson
'Micro-aggressions, misdemeanours and malevolence stud this twisting tale of the inner lives of interconnecting families with nothing in common but fierce love – sometimes of the very wrong kind. Pacy, furious and a great deal of fun.' -- C.E. Riley
'A fantastic novel about fractured families, class and the politics of parenting. Beautifully written and very moving.' -- Liz Nugent
'A great read.' -- Russell Bentley * Ham & High *
