About the Event
Join us for our next Writers in the Library session, featuring Deb Jordan discussing her novel The River Whispers.
About the Author
Deb Jordan is a pianist, primary school teacher and pretend athlete. Perth, Western Australia is now home after twenty years abroad spent evading kidnap attempts in Peru, serenading African presidents, escaping a marriage trade in Ghana (her husband was tempted when the price was ten chickens and three goats…) and circling jungle volcanoes in Costa Rica.
She speaks Spanish fluently enough to be competently dangerous and likes to use her piano skills to keep the neighbours at bay. Who are, for the record, all extremely delightful.
With degrees in Japanese and Russian, she dreamt of secret spy missions and international assignments. Or assignations. Semantics.
Observing people, collecting ideas and always looking for the fun and adventure in life is what Deb does best.
And writing. Above all else, she writes.
About the Book – The River Whispers
Two friends. One tragic accident. One deadly secret.
Sasha’s life was perfect – until the car crash that destroyed her career as a concert pianist and her friendship with Abby, the one who was driving. Consumed by grief and blame, Sasha cut Abby out of her life. But when Abby’s body is found floating in a river and a newborn baby is abandoned nearby, Sasha is thrust into a deadly mystery she can’t ignore.
As Detective Sam Tierny – Sasha’s ex – unravels the case, dark secrets emerge. Abby was running from an abusive ex, a man willing to kill to keep her silent. Ignoring Abby’s desperate calls for help, Sasha never knew how much danger her friend was in – until now.
With a killer closing in, Sasha must confront her guilt and risk everything to uncover the truth. Set amidst the haunting beauty of Western Australia’s vineyards, The River Whispers is a gripping tale of betrayal, loss, and the fight for redemption that will keep you on edge until the final page…
