About this audiobook
Chilling cases of murder and crime that have happened in the quiet streets of Australia's suburbs.
Featuring contemporary cases as well as some shocking historical murders you've probably never heard of, Suburban True Crime proves you shouldn't say “it could never happen here”.
These cases will shock and surprise you including the still-unsolved mistaken identity murder of Melbourne mother Jane Thurgood-Dove and the horrifying story of a man who killed in Australia and then was released from prison, only to kill again in the United States.
There's also some historical crimes that shocked the community at the time but have now faded into obscurity, including cases of child murder in the 1970s.
Emily Webb is a journalist, true crime author and co-host of the popular Australian True Crime podcast.
