Strange Brew, The: Sometimes ignoring the dead isn't enough

Sometimes ignoring the dead isn't enough.

Dora Hermansen runs a small-town cafe with her husband. Life is ordinary, exactly how she wants it. Aside from sensing ghosts, that is.

Ignoring the dead had been working for her. But with a death in Deepwell, a town with secrets, she has to question. Is her PTSD flaring up again, or are the life-challenged stirring?

Soon someone she cares for is in peril and, when all seems resolved, Dora might still be smack bang in the middle of a dangerous mystery.

Fresh and creepy, The Strange Brew is a supernatural mystery set in South East Queensland with a distinctly Australian flavour. Strong themes are explored gently through a relatable main character with a tragic backstory. Dora Hermansen is recovering from PTSD after a traumatic event several years earlier. 

Surrounded by family and friends, all she wants is a normal life in small-town Deepwell. Dora believes it's possible - after all, she now has a happy marriage and owns a local cafe with her husband, Sayed. Just when things are looking up, she becomes embroiled in a mystery that could topple all she's worked for. 

The Strange Brew delivers suspense and scares while stopping short of horror.
