Description

The Mushroom Murders by Greg Haddrick is out now through Allen and Unwin.

🎙️ Greg’s true crime book takes a creative turn — the Erin Patterson case is told from the perspective of a fictional female juror who works as a picture framer. He explains why he chose to tell the story this way.

⚖️ The juror explains the jury selection process — she’s one of 15,000 Latrobe Valley residents called up. Greg reveals how the final jury actually gets chosen

🧠 Serving on a jury can be mentally and emotionally draining — how do people cope with that uncertainty and time commitment?

🏛️ Greg has close ties to Victoria Police — what details from the case didn’t make it into media reports?

📱 Erin’s “aptitude for deception” was clear when she allegedly switched her phone during a police search of her Leongatha home — what really happened?

💻 Despite her obsession with true crime and online forums, Erin left a trail of evidence — why make such obvious mistakes?

🤔 Public opinion shifted during the trial — many first saw Erin as guilty, but later doubts emerged it could have been a tragic accident. What caused that?

🧩 Could Erin Patterson actually be innocent, like other Australian women wrongfully accused — Lindy Chamberlain, Joanne Lees, Kathleen Folbigg?

💭 Greg shares his own theory — why Erin might have poisoned her in-laws, and possibly Simon too.

🙏 Some believe Erin’s family’s religious faith stopped them from suspecting her — did their belief that “God would take care of it” play a role?

⚖️ With Victoria’s prosecutors seeking a harsher sentence and Erin planning an appeal, what happens next in this gripping case?
