Launch of ‘The Accident’

A book written by Fiona Lowe titled ‘The Accident’ will be introduced at the Victor Harbor Library on Thursday, April 11, from 6pm to 7pm.

The book is a gripping and thought-provoking new mystery from the master of the moral dilemma, bestselling Australian author Fiona Lowe.

Freya thought she could relax when Ryan’s best mate Jamie got engaged to her best friend Hannah.

Two couples, four friends – what could be better than that? But a day before the wedding Freya’s torn between keeping the peace or blowing it up.

Hannah’s perfect wedding is hours away and she’s daydreaming of a honeymoon in Tahiti and starting the family she longs for when she hears the first-responder sirens.

Is it a grass fire? Worse? And why aren’t Ryan or Jamie answering their phones?

When a car veers off the road with devastating consequences, the small wheatbelt town of Garringarup is left reeling.

As disturbing details surrounding the accident emerge and questions pile up, ugly secrets rise to the surface.

Fiona Lowe has been a midwife, a sexual health counsellor and a family support worker; an ideal career for an author who writes novels about meaty moral dilemmas.

She spent her early years in Papua New Guinea where reading set up a lifelong love of books.

Authentically Australian, her stories are often triggered by a secret or a mystery and explore the themes of family, community and second chances.

Described as gripping, thought-provoking, heartwarming and ultimately uplifting, Lowe’s books have been praised for their emotional depth.

Fiona is based in Geelong, Victoria.
