About the Book

A page-turning literary mystery set in a small community, where family and class tensions threaten to erupt after a brutal attack on a young student. 'Tom Baragwanath is an excellent writer... Once again, he has produced a powerful, action-packed tale...' Times "The nights aren't too cold yet, lucky thing. Otherwise we'd be having a different conversation." Jessica Mowbrie, beaten and dumped in the bush like a sack of garbage and lying comatose in a hospital bed- lucky to be alive. Lorraine Henry doesn't think Jess is so lucky. She thinks whoever hurt her needs to be hunted down. But the Masterton police are isolated and underresourced, and to be honest, even though Lorraine works for them, she thinks they're a bit hopeless. So it might be up to Lorraine to do the hunting. She's not getting any younger, of course. But she has all the police records at her fingertips-and as much information about who hates who as anyone in Masterton. Plus, she's used to being underestimated. And you should never underestimate a middle-aged woman with justice in her sights. In this follow-up to his award-winning debut novel Paper Cage, Tom Baragwanath delivers another bone-deep exploration of life in the margins of small-town New Zealand. Lucky Thing is a gripping new instalment in the Lorraine Henry series. PRAISE- 'Wonderful, emotional storytelling with a fine protagonist-an Antipodean Miss Marple, but fiercer-makes this too good to miss.' Daily Mail UK 'Baragwanath writes superior literary detective fiction with a faultless command of plotting and structure.' Age

About the Author :
Tom Baragwanath is originally from Masterton, New Zealand, and now lives in Paris with his young family. His first novel, Paper Cage, was published by Text to international acclaim.

Review :
'Baragwanath writes superior literary detective fiction with a faultless command of plotting and structure.’ ‘Tom Baragwanath is an excellent writer… Once again, he has produced a powerful, action-packed tale…’ ‘Wonderful, emotional storytelling with a fine protagonist—an Antipodean Miss Marple, but fiercer—makes this too good to miss.’ ‘Baragwanath’s follow-up to his award-winning debut Paper Cage probes crime, community and corruption in small-town New Zealand. Quietly devastating, with a strong sense of place, this is noir rooted in realism.’ ‘Lucky Thing is another resonant and engaging work of crime fiction… cements Baragwanath as a crime writer to watch.’
