A cleverly constructed Australian crime novel, Grim Pickings introduces readers to Verity Birdie Birdwood, an amateur sleuth with a sharp wit and a sharper eye for detail. When a family gathering at an apple orchard turns deadly, what begins as a peaceful country retreat quickly unravels into a web of suspicion, secrets, and murder. Jennifer Rowe crafts a quintessentially Australian whodunit that balances dark humour with genuine suspense, drawing readers into a cast of vividly rendered family characters, each harbouring their own motivations. The novel launched one of Australian crime fiction's most beloved series, establishing Birdie as an iconic figure in the genre and cementing Rowe's reputation as a master of the domestic mystery.
