The Kelly family has always been trouble. When a fire in a remote caravan community kills nine people, including 17-year-old Sabine Kelly's mother and sister, Sabine confesses to the murders. Shortly after, she escapes custody and disappears. Recently made redundant from marriage, motherhood and her career, journalist Rachel Weidermann has long suspected Sabine made her way back to the river—now, twelve years after the 'Caravan Murders', she has the time and the tenacity to corner a fugitive and land the story of the year.

Rachel's ambition lights the fuse leading to a brutal chain of events, and the web Sabine weaves will force Rachel to question everything she believes. Vikki Wakefield's compelling psychological thriller is about class, corruption, love, loyalty, and the vindication of truth and justice. And a brave dog called Blue.

      The Kelly family was always skirting trouble. When 17-year-old Sabine Kelly’s mum and sister die with seven other people in a mysterious caravan park fire, Sabine confesses to the crime before disappearing. Twelve years later, living a fugitive life on her pop’s riverboat, she is spotted by someone who knows who she is—an accused murderer wanted by the police. Freelance journalist Rachel recognises Sabine and spies on her from the riverside house she received in her divorce. She is determined to capture evidence and sell the story. When Sabine catches Rachel spying, a mystery unfolds: Why does Sabine agree to help Rachel? Is Sabine really a murderer? This psychological thriller intensifies as the women navigate a web of lies, truths and unanswered questions. To the River is a rollicking, fast-paced ride that builds to the perfect climax, with twists and turns along the way. Vikki Wakefield (Ballad for a Mad Girl) is a masterful writer with complete control over her characters—whether they are written for younger readers or, here, for adults. Her immeasurable talent and skill are electric in each frame of the story. Mixing in psychological warfare between two incredibly cataclysmic main characters, this is an action-packed, exciting, yet often thoughtful book. To the River will be one of 2024’s sure-fire hits, perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Gillian Flynn. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
