THE SCHOOL RUN

The hopes and dreams of parents living in the beautiful coastal town of Pacific Pines, are pinned on the outcome of the Gala Day that St Ignatius Boys' School hosts every year. To be accepted into the prestigious institution, the boys must battle it out in rigorous rounds of both physical and mental testing - but it seems some parents will stop at nothing to ensure their sons succeed.

But after one boy is struck down in a hit and run, the scandals, secrets and lies that entangle three mothers threaten to unravel their seemingly perfect lives.

How far will these women go to protect their families and their reputations?

THE TRIVIA NIGHT

From the outside, the parents at Darley Heights Public School have it all. Living in the wealthy Sydney suburbs, it's a community where everyone knows each other’s business - and secrets don't stay secret for long.

The big date in the calendar is the school's annual fundraising trivia night, but when the evening gets raucously out of hand, talk turns to partner-swapping. Initially scandalised, it's not long before a group of parents make a reckless pact.

THE RUNNING CLUB

The rules of the running club are the same as they have always been: keep your breath steady, keep your mind sharp, record your laps! Only now there's a new one: don't get killed. The wealthy community of Esperance is picture-perfect. Big houses, stunning views, beautiful people. A brand new running track for the local club to jog around in the evenings. From the outside, it looks like paradise.

But the women of the town know the truth: you can hide anything - from wrinkles to secrets from your past - if you have enough money.

You could even hide a murder.

‘The Running Club is a sharp, clever and compelling read about family and friends, and the secrets and lies that bind them together. I couldn’t stop turning the pages!’
