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.
