Mad Mabel is a darkly funny, twist-filled novel about Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick, an 81-year-old woman living quietly on a Melbourne street — until a neighbor turns up dead and her long-buried secret resurfaces: she was once “Mad Mabel,” Australia’s youngest convicted murderer. Told across two timelines, it’s a sharp, surprising story about labels, redemption, and one irrepressible woman finally ready to tell her side of the story.
