Shortlisted for the 2018 CWA Debut Dagger, Trust Me, I’m Dead is the brilliant first book in an intriguing Australian-set mystery series.
Three years ago, Judi Westerholme turned her back on
her brother. Now he’s dead. If she can follow the clues he’s left
behind, she’ll uncover the truth behind his murder. But Judi’s not the
only one searching for answers…
Gritty and bold, Clark’s debut
thriller explores what people will do for their families with a gutsy,
unapologetic protagonist who will appeal to fans of Steph Broadribb and
Fiona Barton.
Sherryl Clark said: ‘I’m thrilled that Trust Me, I’m Dead is going to be published by Verve and I’m looking forward to working with the team to create a really great read.’

Katherine Sunderland said: ‘Trust Me, I’m Dead is a fantastic, accomplished debut novel with a strong female protagonist whose wry humour and blunt approach to life is refreshing and utterly engaging. There are some brilliant twists along the way. I think readers are going to love Judi Westerholme!’
