Summary
Morally flexible best mates and private investigators Alice and Teddy pride themselves on fixing every kind of mess imaginable, no questions asked. So, when they're tasked with locating the recently-stolen ashes of long-dead celebrity tennis player Ashley “Perry” Perrineau, it should be a routine job.
But it quickly becomes clear that everyone who knew Perry is keeping secrets: his accountant despises Perry's widower; the sculptor of his statue is hiding something in her studio; his ex-doubles partner is a compulsive liar; and his mother is obsessed with preserving his legacy and her image at all costs.
Alice and Teddy will need to travel up and down Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula – all while avoiding more than one person on their tail – to uncover the truth and keep the body count from rising. But will they and the people they love survive what they find?©2026 Fiona Hardy (P)2026 W. F. Howes ltd.

Old Games by Fiona Hardy
I read and enjoyed Fiona Hardy's adult crime fiction debut, Unbury the Dead, this time last year. When I saw the second book in the series was being released, I pre-ordered it.
Much like Unbury the Dead, Old Games ticks so many of the boxes for things I like in a book; you'll find it in the crime fiction section, it's set in Australia (specifically in and around Melbourne), and the 'good guys' are feisty female besties who'll literally help each other bury a body (or two). Fiona Hardy's books are fast-paced Australian crime noir; they are funny, intelligent, and compelling. And I would have said all of that before I won a free copy of her book.
Alice and Teddy are best friends who work together as 'fixers' in the mob sense of the word. If you have money and a problem, they'll be sent to help fix it. In Old Games, they are tasked with locating the recently stolen ashes of long-dead celebrity tennis player Ashley "Perry" Perrineau, but it turns out that everybody who knew Perry is keeping a secret.
If you enjoy fun, twisty, crimey books like Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth, The Midnight Taxi by Yosha Gunasekera, or The Body Next Door by Zane Lovitt, then you'll like this one.
