About The Landlady of the Resolution Hotel

These women have been through hell - but it isn't over yet. Bestselling Australian author Darry Fraser's latest historical novel will have you on the edge of your seat. In 1894, at the loneliest pub on the Murray River, four women are hiding from the truth - and it's threatening to find them. Biddy's the publican at the Resolution Hotel, taking the reins from her fierce aunt Dot. Biddy's finally starting to feel like herself again - like who she was before she lost everything. But now she's accused of a crime she didn't commit, and the constable is hinting her aunt isn't innocent either. When a man arrives offering Biddy an alibi, her surprise turns to shock when she realises who it is, someone she never expected to see again. In the chaos, new guests arrive: Freya and Clara, both seeking refuge, and both desperate to conceal what they're running from. There are plenty of secrets and past traumas among the women - and men - at the Resolution Hotel, but their ordeals aren't over yet. A cold-blooded murderer is in the area, and he's taken an interest in the isolated hotel. Hunted by a killer, haunted by their pasts, they will need all their strength, courage and resilience to survive. But one of them will go too far ...
