Shortlisted for the 2016 Davitt awards
“A psychological thriller with all the ingredients” Jennifer Byrne Australian Women’s Weekly February 2015
“Racy Psychiatrist Offers New Twist on Crime” Herald Sun weekend Feb 7th Anne Buist has ticked all the boxes with her creation…Buist brings her considerable experience as a perinatal psychiatrist to bear in this novel…giving it authenticity and gravitas
“Candice Fox and Anne Buist deliver deadly thrills” by Sue Turnbull: “feminism and the crime novel have come a long way” SMH/The Age here
Medea’s Curse is a gripping ride of crime and tension, with a Lisbeth Salander-like lead roaring through danger and intrigue at a million miles an hour.’
‘Buist has used her twenty-five years’ experience in perinatal psychiatry to good effect in her first psychological thriller…King is a lively new character with a good mix of appealing characteristics and interesting flaws.’
“Anne Buist writes with authority and confidence…a gritty and noir novel” Fairdinkum Crime here
“…likely to be very successful and the start of a series with the potential to evolve with absorbing twists and turns, inspired by the author’s foresnic experience.” Ian Freckleton, QC, Journal of Psychiatry, Psychology and the Law Vol 15, 2015 HERE
“Buist …uses her 25 years experience to good effect in her first psychological thriller…King is a lively new character with a good mixture of appealing characteristics and interesting flaws.” Jeffrey Popple SMH 9.3.15 here
“One of the highlights of Medea’s Curse is the psychiatric detail, from the politics of a differential diagnosis on a forensic ward, to the way Buist artfully moves her plot through the revelations and resistances of Natalie’s sessions with her patients….(it appeals because) the knowledge it brings to the story and the empathy it generates for characters caught in tragic predicaments.” Ed Wright, The Australian, March 7th 2015
“Meet Natalie King, a kickass forensic psychiatrist who rides Ducati and plays in a rock band. Buist – a perinatal psychiatrist – crafts an intelligent thriller about mothers who kill.” WHO March 30 2015
