Description
Book SynopsisI'm not running late like I usually am. Maybe that's why I look in the river, maybe that's why I stop when I see it. A dark-coloured raincoat, the arms spread wide, floating hood-first down the river. And then it starts to rain.Fifteen-year-old Annie needs to get to her basketball match, but the police have cordoned off her road. Is her neighbour, who she grew up with, still alive? What has he done to have the police after him?
A murder investigation brings new people to Annie's wild West Coast town, including a dark-haired boy riding the most amazing horse she has ever seen. But Annie is wary of strangers, especially as her world is beginning to crumble around her. In setting out to discover the truth Annie uncovers secrets that could rip the small community apart.
Trade ReviewFifteen-year-old Annie confronts the ominous intrigues of a rural NZ coal town in Ella West's RAIN FALL, where everyone knows everyone else but nobody is quite what they seem. Annie's voice is authentic and direct, and Ella West's understated writing gets better with every book - this is a fitting new work after NIGHT VISION, which I loved. RAIN FALL gave me damp and muddy chills!
