In a small town, where everyone knows everyone’s business, a young teen girl is found drowned at the Larapinta bridge. Stories of how she died begin to develop.

Was she pushed, did she slip, did someone see her fall, did someone try to save her? A woman in white had been seen running away from the bridge shortly after it is said that the drowning occurred. Who was it that wore white that day by the bridge?

The town has many questions and points their fingers at the town’s people. Many in the town first thought that Carol Zamia may have argued with the difficult child and something went wrong.

Eventually, Gabriel Endicott is being looked at by police. She needs to clear her name before she is charged for this crime. She turns to her cousin and friend, Phil Sturt for help.

Although they are close and he knows her better than anyone, but he still has his doubts and tries to convince Gabriel to plead guilty and ideas of why she might have done it.

The more that Gabriel explains why it can’t possibly be her, the more the suspicion is pointed in her direction. She is on a mission to find the woman in white and keep herself out of jail.

At times this story is humorous. The whole story is repetitious, but it works. The reader is constantly told what could have happened on the day at the bridge and how the young girl drowned.

It was a enjoyable read. ( )
