A Body of Work, Simpson’s contemporary crime novel set in Melbourne and Ballarat, tells the story of socialite and author Deborah Dangerfield’s murder at a Melbourne arts festival, and the subsequent police investigation which uncovers not only the murderer, but political corruption, organised crime and the damage done in dysfunctional families.’

Simpson is a former national co-convenor of Sisters in Crime. A Body of Work is the first in the series of crime novels set around major Victorian events. Simpson is currently writing one set at the Australian Open and is planning others around the Spring Racing Carnival, the Grand Final, and the Great Victorian Bike Ride. https://www.hybridpublishers.com.au/product/a-body-of-work/of Work
