The Graveyard Shift by Maria Lewis
When a horror-loving radio show becomes the stage of a gruesome murder, its host Tinsel Monroe is put next on the killer's list...A fast paced, thrilling murder mystery novel, paying homage to slasher films of the 90's, The Graveyard Shift is the perfect Halloween read for fans of Riley Sager and Grady Hendrix.
Tinsel Munroe has busted her gutsto get where she is. Yet her dream of working in radio hasn't turned out to be everything she hoped it would. Sure, she has her own show - aptly titled The Graveyard Shift - where she celebrates the sounds of cult-cinema, but the wage is barely enough to cover her rent and the midnight hours are putting a strain on her relationship with her boyfriend. Even after three years at Melbourne's coolest station, she's seemingly no closer to a prime-time slot.
That is, until someone is murdered live on air.
Mistaking it for a Halloween prank, a visit from police informs Tinsel that the hysterical call was - in fact - the real deal. She's freaked out, but her true-crime obsessed sister Pandora is fascinated.
While detectives assure them the killer will soon be caught, the bodies continue to drop with the killer striking in increasingly gruesome ways. With a growing, macabre audience to her radio show, that potentially includes the killer, Tinsel begins receiving strange messages over the text-inlines. Herworkplace, and even her home, are suddenly notthe sanctuaries she once thought.
Tinsel and her sister are left with no choice but to team up with Detective James as they race to find the connection between her and the culprit. The people she thought she could trust are now those she should fear the most. In order to survive, Tinsel is going to have to listen to more than just the airwaves...
Maria Lewis began reporting police rounds in a newsroom as a teenager and has spent the last ten years as a professional journalist. It was not a difficult decision to transition from writing about murders to writing about movie stars. Her writing has featured in publications such as the New York Post, Empire magazine, Huffington Post, The Sunday Mail, Junkee, and BuzzFeed, to name a few. She can be heard on 2SER 107.3 FM's weekly Drive program Gaggle Of Geeks every Wednesday and every Tuesday Morning for TV Talk. She is part of the Pod Save Our Screen podcast and is a proud member of the Graffiti With Punctuation crew, a group of Australia's leading film bloggers. Located in Sydney, she lives in a house with too many movie posters and just the right quantity of folks.
Maria can frequently be found spending a lot of money on comic books, viewing horror movies at inopportune times, absorbing books on current feminist philosophy (aka anything Caitlin Moran touches), and clinging to the one idea she's had since she was five years old: unicorns exist. Mark Wahlberg's future wife is most likely her. Almost certainly.
