Running Woman

By Patricia Carlon

Book Overview

A fair-haired woman in white is seen running from the plank bridge over rain-swollen Larapinta Creek. Not long afterward, the body of a 14-year-old girl is found. Was she pushed, or did the running woman simply fail to help her? When the inhabitants of this small Australian town turn their suspicion on a beautiful young newcomer, wealthy widow Gabriel Endicott, she finds herself entwined so deeply as to fear for her own life.

Customer Reviews

Excellent!

A teenage girl drowns during a storm and the hunt is on to find the killer, of whom there is only a brief description. An atmospheric and intriguing thriller. Perhaps a bit more demanding of the reader than most, but the extra effort pays dividend. The book has a real sense of menace and excellent characterisation.Perfect book for a cold winter's night by the fire reading. Carlon is a cross between Christie and Du Maurier. I only wish more of her works were in print.
