Murder and intrigue and mental health and wellbeing are polar opposite genres, but they come together in this episode of Authorised. Author Joan Sauers delivers her second novel Whisky Valley (Allen & Unwin), a delicious cocktail of mystery, romance and pastries set in the brooding Southern Highlands of New South Wales.

Nathan Dunne's When Nothing Feels Real (Murdoch Books) brings a mystery of a different kind, detailing his personal journey as someone living with depersonalisation. Nathan goes beyond sharing his own experiences, adding other stories from other sufferers and interviewing doctors to shed a light on this little known and little talked about mental condition.
