Kurt Donovan has always lived behind a perfect mask—disciplined, charming, and in complete control. But beneath the surface simmers something darker: an obsession with power, and the thought that the ultimate solution might be murder.
When that obsession collides with family secrets, mounting pressure, and a final violent reckoning, Kurt’s world unravels in ways no one could have predicted. Caught between the chilling intelligence of a son and the desperate love of parents, the Donovans are forced into a deadly confrontation where every choice cuts deep.
Dark, tense, and unsettling, Rehearsal for Murder is a psychological thriller about control, family, and the dangerous line between thought and action. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Tana French, or You by Caroline Kepnes.
Based on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, I draw inspiration from the landscapes and communities that shape most of my stories. My writing explores people under pressure within broken systems, where power, control, and survival collide. Spanning psychological thrillers, science fiction, and both historical and contemporary narratives, my work delves into the human psyche—examining what happens when ordinary lives are pushed to their limits and the truth refuses to stay buried.View all by Hannah Caveney
