Prepare to be entertained through the story crafting genius of  Thompson. Charlie Black has spent five years searching for herself in Indian ashrams, and all she’s found is loneliness, a secret obsession with a man she’s never seen, and a chocolate habit she can’t kick.

Now she’s back in the small Australian town of Sope, minding her Aunt Bell and Uncle Ned’s pub while they holiday in Europe. Except the neighbour’s insufferable dog, Doug, hasn’t stopped barking since she left.

Dead Dog Barking is a wickedly funny, warm-hearted story about coming home, falling apart, and the unexpected ways love finds us.

If Dead Dog Barking left you wanting more, Thompson is already working on a sequel, bringing new places, new faces, and the same sharp humour, unexpected twists, and chaos you secretly love.
