The Seduction of Sunni Sinclair by Noel Mealey is a fantastic novel and set in Australia in 1954, in a rural mining town, it could not be further from the usual settings I read about but I was absolutely invested.

Historically arm candy as an escort, Sunni Sinclair is out for sweet retribution as she decides to embark on a heist of her own. A razor sharp intellect and strength of character, balking against social norms, this is a heroine who you will love (and at times be frustrated by) as she turns gender roles on their heads and flips the script on the male-dominated criminal underworld

Mealey is a blinding author, there is so much in this book to follow, to guess about, to reflect on and ultimately enjoy. The pace is perfect, the charaters are relatable as much as they are disliked and the plotline is inspired. A great read

Thank you very much to Netgalley, Interactive Publications Pty Ltd / Glass House Books, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles, the author Noel Mealey for this fantastic ARC. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own

On the other side of the law lies a whole nefarious world where a ray of sunshine on the frankness lies, Sunni Sinclair brings a beautiful breath of fresh air female perspective in the criminal underworld. The Seduction of Sunni Sinclair is a beautifully written and thrilling escape back to Australia in 1954 and a heist that will blow everyone away as Sunni earns her rank as a female boss amongst the men. The novel and her inner dialogue is written in such a way that creates a real sense of what her experience must have been and the true mastermind she is. Don’t be surprised when you find yourselves furiously flipping through the pages and wondering what you yourself would do if in Sunni’s place…
