Writing WA
'McDonald’s first-hand experience of rural life is evident in her richly drawn worlds of both small-town life and large-scale cattle stations. Without a Doubt is action-packed rural crime fiction that offers insight into an illegal activity still costing farmers millions of dollars each year.’

Sam Still Reading
‘The Shearer’s Wife is a perfect weekend read. It was just the right book to sit down and read over a lazy Sunday afternoon. Fleur McDonald tells the story well, switching timelines just when the reader becomes desperate to know what’s happening with Rose (or Dave and Zara). It’s a great mix of police procedural entangled with the lives and consequences of regular people who find themselves in extraordinary situations.’
— Sam Still Reading
Writing WA
