Girl Falling
By Hayley Scrivenor
Harry Hartog's review
I went into this as a person that lives in the Blue Mountains AND a rock climber. So this was not only an “I wanna read it”, it was definitely a research project. The Blue Mountains talk was on point. I often call home the Misty Mountains so definitely LOVED this aspect. The climbing lingo was pretty accurate which was cool and surprising. Now the review on the book, the book was SOOO enthralling! I was hooked the whole time!! If you like crime\ psychological thrillers, you'll enjoy this! - Zhari, Harry Hartog Penrith
Description
Finn and her best friend, Daphne, have grown up together in the Blue Mountains. They've always had a close - sometimes too close - friendship. Now in their twenties, Daphne is at university and Finn is working in the Mountains and falling in love with a beautiful newcomer called Magdu.
One fateful day, Finn, Daphne and Magdu go rock-climbing - and Magdu falls to her death. Is it suicide, a terrible accident - or something more sinister?
Bold, dramatic and utterly compelling, Girl Falling forces us to confront the stories we tell ourselves about the people we love. Displaying all of Hayley Scrivenor's razor-sharp skills for character, landscape and narrative, this is a breathtaking read.
