An unputdownable feminist revenge thriller from a bold new voice in the genre.

INTRODUCING A THRILLING NEW VOICE IN CRIME FICTION

'Fast paced, gripping and topical, without ever losing its heart, Daughters of Eve will have you questioning notions of justice and retribution, and just how far you would go to protect the ones you love.' - Jacqueline Bublitz, author of Before You Knew My Name

'Highly original...I was hooked from start to finish.' - Sara Foster, author of The Hush

When a high-profile murder lands literally at her feet, Detective Emilia Hart sees a chance to expand her caseload beyond the endless succession of domestic violence matters she is forced to investigate. But this is no simple investigation.

Another body turns up, then another. Then more - a lot more. All men, all shot, with a similar MO. It's not until a manifesto taking credit for the crimes is published by a group calling themselves Daughters of Eve that Hart confirms a link between the victims: all of them had been perpetrators themselves. All had offended against women or children. Few had been charged with those crimes - and none convicted.

As panic sets in and chaos rules the streets, the police draw ever closer to the Daughters of Eve, but the serial killer continues to elude them. Again, Hart sees something that everyone else has missed. And what that is, she cannot believe.

A stunning debut that will take you to the edge and dare you to look down.

'Strap in for a wild, fast and furious ride. A propulsive, addictive read that tackles big, real issues - add it to your "must read" pile immediately.' - Sarah Bailey, author of The Housemate

'With twists and turns that will keep you guessing, this is an electrifying, thought-provoking thriller.' - Petronella McGovern, author of Six Minutes

'Explosive and confronting. Nina D. Campbell is a new talent in crime fiction. One to be watched.' - Fleur McDonald, author of Deception Creek

Product description

Review

'Fast paced, gripping and topical, without ever losing its heart. A contemporary and engaging take on the classic revenge thriller, Daughters of Eve will have you questioning notions of justice and retribution, and just how far you would go to protect the ones you love. I hope there's more to come from Campbell's complex and engaging Detective Emilia Hart.' - Jacqueline Bublitz, author of Before You Knew My Name

'Strap in for a wild, fast and furious ride. Daughters of Eve manages to have it all: romance, a soaring body count and a wonderfully complex main character who you will be rooting for from page one. It's a propulsive, addictive read but it tackles big, real issues - add it to your "must read" pile immediately.' - Sarah Bailey, author of The Housemate

'This accomplished, intelligent debut brings us Emilia Hart, a gutsy detective determined to find justice for abused girls and women. But as Emilia becomes embroiled in a multiple murder investigation, she starts to question who the victims really are in this case and if justice is ever possible. Dark and compelling, this story races to an explosive climax. I loved the beating heart of this novel - Emilia and her cobbled-together family of lost souls who would do anything for each other. With twists and turns that will keep you guessing, this is an electrifying, thought-provoking thriller.' - Petronella McGovern, author of Six Minutes

'Gripping, gritty and gung-ho...an important new voice in crime fiction.' - Kylie Ladd, author of The Way Back

'Explosive and confronting. Nina D. Campbell is a new talent in crime fiction. One to be watched.' - Fleur McDonald, author of Deception Creek

'Daughters of Eve is a breathless, thoughtful, primal narrative, stylishly and passionately written. But most of all it is story with heart.' - Sulari Gentill, author of Crossing the Lines

'Compelling, taut, and impossible to forget, Daughters of Eve is an important book from formidable new talent Nina D. Campbell. Blending unputdownable suspense with heartbreaking family drama, this book is a must-read.' - Lisa Ireland, author of The Shape of Us

'This is an astonishing debut! Expertly plotted, this is a brave and vulnerable story that will pull you in from the first pages and leave you gasping at the end. Daughters of Eve is written with deep insight and sensitivity into the injustices all too many women face, while highlighting the need for society to take gendered violence and misogyny seriously. Never have I read a story like this one, a crime novel that is so much more. This is a story with a beating heart that reaches through the pages and urges you to look at familiar issues with new eyes. An utterly moving book with characters who will hold on to you long after the last page.' -Tabitha Bird, author of A Lifetime of Impossible Days

'A highly original and thought-provoking procedural thriller. I was hooked from start to finish.' - Sara Foster, author of The Hush

You had me at “feminist revenge thriller”.
What a wild ride. I read only a few thrillers each year, and this was a standout favourite in the genre. Campbell (no relation) captured the voice of Detective Hart perfectly, and that opening sentence - Woah! I loved Hart’s personal story and how it wove through the fast-paced action. I loved the professional tension - it put me in mind of some of those gritty British crime shows of which I’m also a fan, and I could easily visualise this novel being adapted for the small screen. Truly a story for our times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Explosive from the first page
Reviewed in Australia on 29 August 2023
The thrill started right away from the first chapter and didn’t stop.

Detective Sergeant Emilia Hart was in the right place at the right time (or wrong place at the wrong time) when a defence barrister got shot down in front of her eyes. Soon, body counts started piling up and an organised movement called Daughters of Eve claimed responsibility. Triggering fear everywhere, especially in a certain type of people, big cities in Australia were put in chaos while law enforcement started losing control and panics ensued.

This was such a great debut. The writing was tight and suspenseful in the right places. I really liked the pacing and how the problem was presented.

I loved Emilia Hart as a character. I was totally absorbed in her daily struggle as a female DS in an office full of males. She had a great background story as a ‘mother’ to two girls who she rescued from a dark past. I loved Robbo as the supposed ‘model’ officer who managed to still be compassionate even though the job tilted him to act like a jerk. He served well in the picture as Emilia’s ‘contrast’.

I also appreciated the non-traditional direction the romance in this book took. Our female protagonist didn’t crave a relationship to ‘complete’ her, and she knew when she had to accept help (albeit grudgingly) when she needed it.

By the way, the name Emilia Hart reminded me of Amelia Earhart. Not sure if it was intentional, but I guess in this book we could draw a parallel to DS Hart’s efforts in pioneering stronger actions towards women and children’s violence within a male dominated industry. Or maybe I’m just grasping at straws!

I don’t think I’m done with Emilia Hart. While the end of the book wrapped up this particular story, I think she still had a lot more development to share. I personally hope we’ll see a second book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant crime debut that keeps you guessing
Reviewed in Australia on 10 April 2022

The plot and setting for this novel is Sydney, in a post me-too world where despite the overt acknowledgment of domestic violence and abuse of women, many have yet to be made accountable. From the outset I knew this novel would stand apart from the many other crime novels I've read. Detective Emilia Hart, is as level headed as she is compassionate despite her past trauma and the everyday sexism and misogyny she faces as part of the police force. With the protagonists gritty determination, the author also manages to interweave a a deep emotional resonance - with many passages of prose catching me off guard in the most gratifying way. This is a fast pace police procedural that will keep you guessing until the reveal. An impressive debut and a new crime author to watch!

4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable tale with a serial killer revenge motif and a shocking unexpected ending
Reviewed in Australia on 12 July 2022
Nina D Campbell is a new Aussie author with her recently released Daughters of Eve. Set in Sydney, a defence barrister is shot dead on the steps of the Court steps. DS Emilia Hart steps in to take the case and moves beyond the domestic violence she is given to investigate. A warning: there are sensitive issues and sex crimes that may trigger some readers. As more murders occur, public concern heightens and yet there are no apparent links between the cases, despite identical shooting characteristics. The narrative also includes the personal life of Emilia, her family and relationship which become complicated as she juggles life and work. As leads go nowhere and the body count mounts, the military end up patrolling the streets of Sydney as panic sets in. A most enjoyable tale with a serial killer revenge motif and a shocking unexpected ending. So, a four star read rating, despite the somewhat unrealistic and inappropriate family violence theme. As always, the opinions herein are totally my own and freely given.

4.0 out of 5 stars A compelling read.
Reviewed in Australia on 12 June 2022
This book club read was certainly a grim reminder of the darker side of life. I found it entertaining and fascinating however I did predict in the first couple of chapters who I thought was responsible for the murders. I wasn’t sure how but I knew. That is where I felt the story got out of hand for me. It was the “how”. Although it’s all neatly wrapped up and explained at the conclusion, it didn’t ring true for me.

However, it was an interesting idea for a story and flowed fairly well. It’s sad that parts of this story is all too real for some women and children. Certainly not light whimsical reading that’s for sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars When there is a murder on the first page I knew that it was a book for me!
Reviewed in Australia on 31 March 2022
Daughters of Eve is a book that crime fiction readers are just going to devour. I read it in 2 sittings, so beware, once you pick it up it will be very hard to put it down. I cannot believe that this is a debut novel! I am excited to see what Nina Campbell has for us next - hopefully more from Emilia?! When there is a murder on the first page I knew that it was a book for me!

A serial killer taking out men who have gotten away with crimes against women and children. The body count in the book is just insane - they keep coming. The police really have their work cut out for them in this book, set mostly in Sydney. Emilia Hart has a massive murder case literally land at her feet. She knows if she can get onto the team for this her days of cold cases might be over. She has to fight for everything, a woman in a man's world. She won't give up though, she is a badass copper! When the Daughters of Eve take credit for the killings and the murders increase, the country is scared and under threat.

It is a pager turner and and ending that I really didn't see coming. I thought I had it worked out but no... I was way off! I love that.

4.0 out of 5 stars A gripping tale of female revenge
Reviewed in the United States on 13 May 2022
Verified Purchase
The novel opens with the dramatic shooting of defence barrister Thomas Griffith-Jones on the steps of a Sydney courthouse. DS Emilia Hart had just left the courthouse where Griffith-Jones was defending a man whose two children drowned when he lost control of his car on a cliffside road. That he had long been abusing and intimidating his wife and the car crash was no accident was evident to the police, but Griffith-Jones was doing his utmost to convince the jury otherwise. When an outbreak of further shootings of men occur in Sydney and in other towns and cities the police are puzzled. The only connection between the victims is that they have committed domestic or sexual abuse of women or children.

This thrilling tale of revenge against male violence tackles a very topical issue of why women and children continue to be on the receiving end of male aggression and why our judicial system can't do more to protect them. Having worked previously with victims of domestic or sexual abuse and having adopted two abused children, Emilia is the perfect defender of women and children. Emilia is also surrounded by some good men in the police force, including her partner Robbo and Matt, a Melbourne detective who becomes involved in the case as the shootings spread across Australia. The author cleverly makes her point that more than fifty women are killed by abusive men in Australia every year and not much is done to address this, but when abusive men become targeted, a national task force is immediately set up to find the killer. An impressive and thought provoking debut!
