Story lived up to reviews and then some! Just an amazing, well writt3n, and well performed mystery in a small seaside town in Tasmania. Vanishing Falls, the village in story, has modern problems, unemployment, and drug addiction. The characters are so cunningly revealed, that the listener is drawn on as bit by bit, secrets, present and past, are revealed . The tension , excitem3nt crank up as e@ch chapter reveals new, startling info. Also interesting is how this talented writer shifts power in relationships. Th3 meek morph into strong characters with a deft subtlety. This was an adventure not to be missed. Hope feisty heroine Joelle reappears soon, as I won’t forget her! Don’t miss this one!

Very accomplished literary mystery

I came to this book through narrator Caroline Lee, as I've enjoyed her work on Liane Moriarty's books, and I'm always on the look-out for new Aussie authors. Poppy Gee's writing style is solid and direct, and easy to listen to. I liked many aspects of Vanishing Falls, including the background detail on colonialism as it affected the Aboriginal people of Tasmania, as well as the historical detail about the state, and the region in which this story is set. My biggest problem with this book is that the author has taken on so much telling that the impact of the murder-mystery is swallowed. The last 3 hours do drag on and I did get very tired of all the characters who needed to be given a voice on every single event. The book would be a lot stronger if an editor had stepped in and provided the author with direction about what to cut to make the essence of the story and its point-of-view stronger. I don't think I'll listen to it a second time, but I don't regret having read it.

Satisfying, but too long
