'Australian Crime has a new star' CHRIS HAMMER


WHY WOULD MY BEST FRIEND WANT TO DESTROY MY LIFE?

Finn and her closest friend Daphne grew up in the imposing shadow of Australia’s Blue Mountains, their uneasy bond forged by both losing their sisters at a young age. Now in their twenties, Daphne is at university, while Finn has remained in the mountains and fallen in love with newcomer Magdu – a young woman with troubles of her own.

Though tensions arose during Magdu and Daphne’s first meeting, Finn is looking forward to a day of rock climbing and bonding for the three women on the cliffs near their town. But nothing goes as planned and, in a horrific accident, Magdu falls to her death.

In the aftermath, the friends become the focus of a police investigation. Was it really an accident? Or did something far more sinister play out that day?

Bold, dramatic and utterly compelling, Girl Falling is an atmospheric, psychological mystery from the award-winning author of Dirt Town for fans of Harlan Coben and Chris Hammer.

Most relevant
This is a psychological thriller romance with a beautiful love story ivy-wrapped in a difficult bestie relationship.

The narration is spot on for the characters the author does so well to bring to life with their hopes and fears.

At the centre is the crushing consequence of a toxic relationship. It is the tragedy unravelling that is a girl falling. You may find yourself going back and replaying critical moments of dialogue. It is a riveting story that glowing and gasping by turns.
