Author Nina Campbell is heading to Mount Gambier Library to launch her debut murder mystery novel, Daughters of Eve, tonight at 7pm.

Team Leader Library Programs Kristi Brooks said Daughters of Eve, an “unputdownable” feminist revenge thriller, was receiving rave reviews from best-selling Australian authors.

“This thought-provoking novel is filled with twists and will have you questioning notions of justice and retribution and just how far you would go to protect the ones you love,” Ms Brooks said.

When a high-profile murder lands literally at her feet, Detective Emilia Hart sees a chance to expand her caseload beyond the endless succession of domestic violence matters she is forced to investigate.

But this is no simple investigation.

Another body turns up, then another.

Then more – a lot more.

All men, all shot, with a similar MO.

Ms Campbell studied theatre and literature at university before making a career as a professional writer across the community and public sectors.

Describing her change in career as a midlife crisis, she now says she is living the dream.

“I took a leap to follow my dream. You have got one life. Live it to the full,” Ms Campbell said.

This is a free event with refreshments provided and books available for sale.

Bookings are required and can be made by contacting Mount Gambier Library on 8721 2540 or book online at www.mountgambier.sa.gov.au/library under Programs and Events.
