Orange City Library: Petronella McGovern - Every Time She Wakes
About this Event
Meet bestselling crime author Petronella McGovern when she launches her latest book Every Time She Wakes at Orange City Library on Wednesday 15 July at 5.30pm, supported by Collins Booksellers, Orange.
When careers counsellor Suze and her family are evacuated from their home during a bushfire emergency, she suddenly realises they're being kidnapped. The van crashes and Suze thinks it's the end.
But she wakes up two weeks back in time. No one else remembers the terror that came before. Is it all in her own mind?
Then it happens again. And again.
With every loop, her world twists into a new version of itself. Suze must discover why it's happening and who is behind the kidnappings. She's running out of time to save her family and wake up in a world she recognises.
A twisty page-turner about how far we'll go to protect what matters most.
