Megan Norris' exploration of revenge killings during marital breakdown, won the 2017 Davitt Award from Australian Sisters in Crime Davitt for best True Crime. "Extraordinary read - the events so accurately described in this book provide powerful insights into the widespread patterns of coercive control and profound impacts of enduring trauma." - Sharon Wilkinson - lawyer and Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner. Mediator, DFV Abuse and Sexual Assault Practitioner and Coercive Control Educator.

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 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. This idea for this book began when Megan was working on a previous book, On Father's Day, which followed the journey of surviving mother, Cindy Gambino-Moules following the revenge murders of her three little boys, after their father Robert Farquharson plunged his car into an icy Victorian dam on Father's Day 2005. To give Cindy's story some perspective, Megan interviewed other grieving mothers to identify missed red flags and to highlight the flaws in a system that continues to fail vulnerable women and children. She realised that collectively these true stories highlighted missed red flags, and the risk of lethality that had been underestimated and deserved to be more than a chapter in Cindy's book.

From the triple murders in the dam, 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 - Look What You Made Me Do shows it is not only women who are at risk when family violence turns deadly. A former winner of an Eliminating Violence Against Women Award, Megan Norris won the 2024 Mitchell Ferrario Award for Compassion in Media at the recent Queensland Homicide Victims Support Network's annual Night of Recognition
