The Mushroom Tapes
Conversations on a Triple Murder Trial
‘Garner, Hooper and Krasnostein are an acute trio of conversational partners. Their precise, wry observations compel the reader’s attention.’
Guardian
'I was utterly captivated...a dense and deeply engaging weaving of voices, narratives and ideas.’
Conversation
‘An utterly absorbing exploration of how these writers think: questioning, rationalising and reflecting on female criminality, morality and the ethics of storytelling.’
Books+Publishing
‘Allows us to imagine what the mealtime conversations many of us have been having about this case would be like if three of Australia’s best writers were guests.’
Inside Story
‘The Mushroom Tapes is in a league of its own.’
Avenue Bookstore
‘An illuminating read.’
Donna Lu, Guardian, Best Australian Books of 2025
‘Allows us to imagine what the mealtime conversations many of us have been having about this case would be like if three of Australia’s best writers were guests. It’s a comfort meal with some exotic ingredients mixed in.’
Inside Story
‘A monster of a true-crime book — and, odd as it might seem, also a bloody good time.’
Declan Fry, ABC
