Back cover blurb:
A moving and suspenseful story of family dynamics, obsession and the power of true friendship from Australia's master storyteller, Fiona McCallum.
On the surface Natasha and Mitchell live an idyllic life in the Adelaide Hills with their two daughters and kelpie cross. While both have busy careers, they ensure time is spent with family and friends.
Natasha, an aspiring interior designer, has started her own homewares shop and is excited to develop her business further. Mitchell, on the other hand, is becoming more withdrawn. Is he pressured by work, having a mid-life crisis or hiding something from his family?
Jesse, a charismatic new locksmith in town, offers to help Natasha with client leads. She welcomes the assistance and distraction. But is Jesse all he makes out to be?
Who ultimately is looking out for whom, and who is hiding from the truth?

shifts effortlessly from the relatable to the aspirational,
from everyday domestic scenes to those big, life-altering
moments we all experience. Looking Out is no exception …
Part of McCallum’s charm is the way she treats her readers
with such care, providing just the right balance of
page-turning intrigue, escapism and down-to-earth
relatability.” Better Reading
