The Outback

A total page-turner. Compelling, immersive, and highly entertaining. Destination fiction at it's best! It brought back memories of backpacking down Australia's East Coast years ago and perfectly captures what it's like to be a young person far from home, thrown together with strangers: the madcap late nights, romantic entanglements and close escapes from danger.

Allie Reynolds, author of The Bay

A ripper of a thriller. Studying abroad forever changes eight young lives—in all the wrong ways...a story about secrets and how they change who we are and who we become; a tale of friendship and betrayal and those exhilarating years when our friends are our universe. It’s atmospheric, emotional, and twisty, and destined to be one of the best thrillers of the year. Ace!

Alex Finlay, bestselling author of Parents Weekend

A compelling and addictive thriller that grabs you from the first chapter and never lets go! With an atmospheric and isolated setting that increases the already palpable tension between the characters, [The Outback] is a must-read.

Sian Gilbert, author of She Started It

I sped through this twisty tale of friendship, discovery and betrayal. Ochs’s writing is rich with vividly-conjured landscapes, effortlessly distinguishable characters, and a rising sense of claustrophobia as the story weaves its way to an ending that you won’t see coming. A summer thriller so evocative that you can almost feel the Australian summer heat.

Katie Bishop, author of The Girls of Summer

Once again, Ochs proves herself a master of that heady time of youthful independence, away from home without a safety net. I devoured [The Outback] inhaling one shocking revelation after another until the jaw-dropping epilogue. This novel reinvents the unreliable narrator.

Carinn Jade, author of The Astrology House

If ever there was a book written for summer, this is it. I was thoroughly immersed! I thought it was deliciously addictive, crackling with cattiness, secrets, and betrayal. Perfect for fans of tangled relationships and sharp storytelling.

John Marrs, bestselling author of The One

With plot twist after plot twist, a richly drawn setting, and steeped in nail-biting tension, Sara Ochs’ sophomore thriller...was an absolute ride—I devoured it in one breathless sitting.

Ashley Tate, international bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes

Praise for Sara Ochs:

-

A pacy and accomplished murder mystery, its deep, sinister and intriguing plot draws you into a flawed paradise where everyone has a tale to tell... and one they keep to themselves.
