Noosaville Library - Georgia Harper & Mercedes Mercier

Join two of Australia’s most compelling new crime voices, Georgia Harper and Mercedes Mercier, for a fascinating conversation about the dark realities that inspired their gripping new novels, Dove and The Couples Retreat.

Before becoming novelists, Georgia worked as a psychologist with violent offenders and victim‑survivors, while Mercedes spent more than a decade in the corrections system interviewing high‑profile criminals. Their insider knowledge brings chilling authenticity to stories about coercive control, power, fear, and the complex lives of women at the centre of crime.

Expect a lively discussion about the psychology behind their characters, the challenges of writing stories that confront trauma and justice, and the power of strong, flawed, unforgettable female characters at the heart of their books.

Perfect for lovers of crime fiction and true‑crime podcasts alike.
