About this audiobook

One Australian woman is hospitalised every three hours and two more lose their lives each week as a result of family violence. But for some women there is a punishment far more enduring than injury or their own death.

Look What You Made Me Do is a timely exploration of the evil inflicted by vengeful fathers who have killed their own children simply to punish partners for ending unrewarding, often abusive relationships.

Drawing on her own experience as a court reporter, award-winning crime writer Megan Norris examines the revenge murders of eighteen children to shine a light on the ultimate act of family violence and the shattering legacy of grief such crimes have on surviving mothers.

From the 2018 execution-style shooting murders of Sydney teenagers, Jack and Jennifer Edwards whose angry dad was granted a licence to kill despite his long-standing history of domestic violence – to the premeditated murders of Brisbane mum, Hannah Clarke and her three children whose car was torched by her vengeful ex – this book shows it is not only women who are at risk when family violence turns deadly.


‘Megan Norris has been a trailblazer. The events so accurately described in this book provide powerful insights into widespread patterns of power and control, and the profound harms that can result.' DR DEBBIE KIRKWOOD, Author of Just Say Goodbye

‘It's through sharing these stories that we can lift the sense of shame that clouds victim-survivors, and debunk the myths around intimacy, power and control... We must continue to create change and push for law reform.' MARK WOOLLEY, Small Steps 4 Hannah

Ratings and reviews

This book is truely an eye opener on cohersive control and how the signs are so similar and how these perpetrators can out on different masks for everyone else, their evil is apparent and very real for those they should love! Shows how law and courts and child welfare just keep dropping the ball and making bad calls! Bring in jail and high fines for cohersive control and stalking and stop letting them get away with abuse just cause they don't succeed at murdering these strong women. Well written
