The Kingdom Where Nobody Dies

Twenty years after the first boy vanished along the Brisbane River, psychologist Madeleine Jeffries is called home to help untangle a chain of similar disappearances. To do so she must confront secrets and guilt from her own past. The Kingdom Where Nobody Dies is an exploration of grief, responsibility and repercussions, and the way childhood actions can echo throughout our lives.

'A clever, compulsive story of mystery and intrigue...The work sparkles with small, stylish gems of literary accomplishment that give great pleasure. Kimberley Starr has a strong voice and a keen sense of humour.'

"the novel both delights and surprises... rich with actions and situations that pose tantalising moral questions" Good Reading

"Starr does a fine job in nostalgia, evoking mangroves, a meandering river and tropical weather to create a time and place" The Courier Mail

"keeps readers guessing to the end... a promising debut" The Australian

"a gripping psychological thriller... an award-winning story of passion and mystery" Woman's Day

"ambitious ... written with an undemonstrative assurance, so that it hardly reads like the work of an author in the early stages of a career" The Canberra Times

Kimberley Starr's most recent novel, The Book of Whispers won the TEXT prize for Young Adult writing and has been described as "a heart-stopping adventure ride through a world populated by demons, both real and figurative. It’s about goodness and doing right and, above all, love."

Her first novel, The Kingdom Where Nobody Dies, won the Queensland Premier's Literary Award for best emerging author in 2003 and was popularly elected for the city-wide reading program, One Book, One Brisbane in 2005.It was also shortlisted for the Dobbie Award for the Best First Novel by an Australian woman Writer

Kimberley has an MA in medieval literature. Her writing has appeared in various newspapers and journals including The Griffith Review, The Age and The Courier Mail.
