BorrowBox eAudio Book of the Month

The June title of the month on Borrowbox is the award-winning eAudiobook of Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth.

Discover why Mad Mabel won the ABIA Audiobook of the Year and General Fiction Book of the Year.

In 1959, at just 15 years of age, Mabel Waller became the youngest Australian in history to be convicted of murder.
In 2025, on a quiet Melbourne lane, an elderly man is found dead by his neighbour, 81-year-old Elsie Fitzpatrick. No one suspects any foul play.
Until they discover Elsie's past.
In the 1950s, her name was not Elsie. It was Mabel.
She is known around the world as Mad Mabel. But is she mad? More importantly, is she guilty?
When the police open a new investigation and the media descend upon her, the elderly Mabel decides it's time to set the record straight.
In a world first, at the age of 81, Mabel Waller is speaking.
New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth is at her finest in this twisty, compulsive thriller of friendship, family and murder.
Or is it justice ...?
