They just have a few secrets.
And one of them is hiding a body.
When Lou discovers a long-abandoned mining town for sale deep in the Australian bush, it seems like the perfect escape. Along with her sister and their oldest friends, she dreams of creating a private retreat where their families can reconnect with nature, leave their problems behind, and give their children a life beyond screens.
But trouble starts before they even arrive.
A freak accident on the road. A hostile neighbour. Unwelcome squatters living by the river.
Then someone dies.
What begins as a tragic accident quickly spirals into something far darker. As the group struggles to keep the truth buried, long-hidden secrets begin to surface: lost jobs, illicit schemes, betrayals, affairs, and financial deception.
Because hiding a body is one thing.
Keeping a secret is another.
As suspicion grows and loyalties fracture, the friends discover that the people they trust most may be the ones with the most to lose.
Sharp, addictive, and packed with tension, The Buried Life is a gripping literary thriller about privilege, friendship, greed, and the lies we tell ourselves to justify the things we want.
Perfect for fans of The White Lotus, The Slap, Big Little Lies, and character-driven psychological suspense.
“Absolutely brilliant. I wish I had written this book.” — Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Town
