Praise for Lapse
'Clementine Jones is a heroine for our times: fierce, feisty and fallible.' Candice Fox
‘A quintessentially Australian story of small-town conspiracies, dark secrets and footy finals.' Emma Viskic
''Tackling Clem’s guilt and shame with sympathetic and honest clarity, Thornton’s debut is a small-town, high-stakes, mid-season tale that you don’t need to love footy to enjoy.' Readings
[A] tense thriller that holds the reader captive until the very end…fans of Jane Harper and Garry Disher will enjoy this book' Read Plus Reviews
'This is a rip-roaring tale that addresses weighty issues head-on: Discrimination, race-baiting, harassment, physical violence, corporate corruption, and criminality all play major roles in the story...A riveting thriller with a heroine willing to get her hands dirty to find the answers she seeks.’ Kirkus [starred review]
'Exciting…fans of small-town mysteries should try this for its out-of-the-way locale and brave, likeable protagonist…readers can look forward to more from Clem.' Booklist
