Hell yes

Great to see the large print edition of THE THRILL OF IT now out. How cool!

I read an early copy of this book and it is astonishing.

Just finished this engrossing, powerful and yes, thrilling novel. I could not put it down. Loved the level of research that went into this book. Of centering the North Shore in a place & time. The women are so well-written and fleshed out. A must-read! Thanks @mandybeaumont.bsky.social.

Just walkmogged some waitcucks at a traffic light’s pedestrian crossing. Enjoy the cold, dears - I’ll be over here, fifteen steps ahead of you and in touch with my city’s heartbeat

It is so tragic and highly embarrassing that someone so vile, petty, and bereft of decency is the president. I will never understand or have peace with it.

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

Pure evil

Nice to finally meet you in person @fionathehardy.bsky.social. So grateful to Sisters in Crime and Realm Library, Ringwood for this event. Lots of great & interesting insights about crime, writing & these amazing women of course. Vikki Petraitis, Christine Keighery and Mandy Beaumont.

Labor has run a disciplined if dispiriting campaign, its highest ambition survival; the Coalition has run the worst campaign in living memory, potentially gifting Labor another majority government term it's done the bare minimum to earn. Inspiring stuff.

Next Wednesday at 6pm at the Ringwood Library for Sisters in Crime, join me, @vikkipetraitis, @fionathehardy and @chrissiekeighery as we all chat about our new crime books! I'm REALLY looking forward to this event. It's free to come along but you need to book.

Powerhouse true crime writer and podcaster, journo and fiction writer, Matt Condon is an author whose work I revere. He had this to say about THE THRILL OF IT. Clearly I'm blown away by this. What a legend.

So great to see THE THRILL OF IT featured in the news across regional newspapers this week as a book to read next! #australiancrimefiction #2025books #newbook #booktoker #readersofinstagram

I was so excited to be asked to talk about THE THRILL OF IT for QBD Books CRIME CLUB with Victoria Carthew. Make sure you take a listen and buy a copy from your local QBD Books - it also will make a great BOOK CLUB read. www.qbd.com.au/crimeclub/#v...

Great to see a review of THE THRILL OF IT in the newest The Big Issue Australia. "[Beaumont] gravitates towards the more grisly and intense facets of her fictionalised subject matter...but glossing over the the unsavoury details would dull the true impact of these tragedies."

A double page spread in @womansdayaus this week for THE THRILL OF IT! Look, there has been a lot of career highlights so far with my new novel, but I gotta say that this one is right up there! How bloody rad! So stoked!

“There was one period when my favorite fabric was flesh. Human flesh. I didn’t wear any clothes for a while.” Felt apt to see the Leigh Bowery show at Tate on what would have been his 64th birthday. Body as canvas, clothing as manifesto. 1980s London queer club was playful, political, provocative.

What a fantastic review of THE THRILL OF IT in this month’s Women's Weekly Magazine. ‘This is an emotional book. Be warned: It will suck you in and spit you out a changed person. Mandy Beaumont’s beautiful writing and respectful touch makes the brutality of the story worth reading.’

Thank you to everyone who came out on Friday night to Avid Reader in Brisbane to the launch of THE THRILL OF IT. It was such a wonderful night, and it was a total career THRILL to finally sit down with my friend and amazing writer Matt Condon to have a conversation about the book.

The Introvert’s Guide to Leaving the House is available to pre-order. If you want to pull on a flak jacket every time you leave the house, if you stab lemon slices with straws, if you take lunch at your desk, if you consider yourself “more of an animal person”, this book’s for you jennyvalentish.com

Mandy Beaumont’s new novel, The Thrill of It, takes us inside a killer’s mind.

THIS WEDNESDAY at BRIGHTON LIBRARY, I get to chat to Katherine Kovacic about THE THRILL OF IT. It's a free event (and you can buy the book also), so if you are a local we would LOVE to see you! bayside.events.mylibrary.digital/event?id=125...

What a BANGING review of THE THRILL OF IT in The Conversation 'Its adherence to the thriller genre also seems to determine some of its attributed motivations. Here, the novel as serious inquiry & the novel as entertainment become an uneasy match.' theconversation.com/a-serial-kil...
