The Mushroom Tapes

Love, hate, jealousy, revenge – what prompts a home-cooked triple murder?

In The Mushroom Tapes: Conversations about a Triple Murder Trial three renowned writers of true crime unite to unravel the mystery that gripped the nation. Helen Garner (This House of Grief), Chloe Hooper (The Arsonist) and Sarah Krasnostein (The Trauma Cleaner) spent countless hours in fervent discussion about the case. In this highly anticipated book they share their private conversations about their impressions from inside the courtroom, media scrums and stakeouts in Morwell.

The trio explore the gap between the certainties of the law and the messiness of reality, their own ambivalence about the true crime genre and all that remains unknowable about Erin Patterson.
