"In her debut novel, Bad Country, Kim Ulrick intertwines the chilling suspense of a serial killer on the loose with the haunting eeriness of the Australian bush. Set against the rugged beauty and inherent darkness of natural gorges, this YA Australian gothic will captivate readers. Wallaby Rock isn’t just a setting - it’s a character in its own right, a silent witness to the secrets that lurk in its shadows and in its past."
