Review
The Running Woman, a perfectly turned vessel full of taut psychological suspense, should wake readers up to the talents of Australia's Patricia Carlon, who belongs on the same shelf as Ruth Rendell, P. 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, The Souvenir and The Whispering Wall.
