D. James, and Minette Walters. Who was the woman in white that witnesses saw running from the scene when a 14-year-old girl fell from a wooden bridge and drowned in a flooded creek in a rural Australian town? Early on we meet Gabriel Endicott, a young widow with lots of money and some emotional problems, and begin to suspect, like her sensible cousin Phil, that she was the running woman. But gradually we begin to realize that something else is going on--that Phil isn't all that he seems, that the girl who drowned was a nasty piece of work, and that Gabriel is in great danger. Carlon plays on our nerve endings like a superb cellist, as she did in her previous books, <i>The Souvenir</i> and <i>The Whispering Wall</i>. 379844 1998 The Running Woman total:6|4:4|3:1|2:1| 6 21 7 1 4 0 false false Sun Mar 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 16:18:16 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 16:19:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 04:14:24 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 04:14:24 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Jun 12 14:56:38 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 15:54:21 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 14:56:38 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sat Feb 14 19:59:49 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 19:59:59 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Dec 19 06:00:46 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 05:56:15 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 16:08:04 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 16:11:08 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Apr 14 18:22:47 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 14 18:22:47 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=390231
