The Fall Between
Darcy Tindale
Reviewed by Helen
This is a wonderful debut and really worth reading, we meet Detective Rebecca Giles (known as Giles) who is now stationed at Muswellbrook police station in the Upper Hunter Valley, this is the station her father was in charge of while Giles was growing up, she spent the first twelve years of her life here before going to boarding school, she has been back for one year as her father is not well and enjoying being back in town.
Giles has been interviewing Sticky Pete about a ring he bought at the pub and a spate of robberies and she is pushing him to find the thief, meanwhile there is a body of a young woman floating in a water trough on a farm a few kilometers away and then the report of a missing twelve year old, Kayleen comes in and Giles is busy, she soon solves the case of the missing jewellery and the missing child that means drinks at the pub the next morning the body is discovered and things are happening and happening fast especially when another young twelve year old is reported missing.
Giles is convinced that the robberies and the death of the jillaroo and the missing children are connected in some way and just maybe her own mother’s mystery drowning thirty years ago, will she be able to link everything and get the answers? You will need to read this one to find out what happens you won’t be sorry.
This is such a really well written story with wonderful characters, it is a busy story with lots going on and I enjoyed learning about Giles’s mother and her families past and all of the detectives work well together, it is a story that I highly recommend.
My thanks to Penguin AU for my copy to read and review.
