Two deaths, eighteen years apart. A tension-filled mystery by debut author Joanna Morrison. Gracie Flynn may be dead, but she's not gone. Three university friends are divided by a tragic death. Eighteen years later, chance reunites them. Robyn is still haunted by memories of her best friend Gracie, and Cohen's heart has never healed. Only Sam seems to have moved on and found success and happiness. But death rocks their lives again when Sam's body is found in mysterious circumstances. And the ghost of Gracie Flynn has a story to tell about the night that changed their lives forever. 'The Ghost of Gracie Flynn by Joanna Morrison is a real page-turner of a novel . . . I found this story of love and betrayal was one of my favourite books this year; I would highly recommend it!' Better Reading 'The Ghost of Gracie Flynn is a stunning debut from an author to watch.' Writing WA 'While it's slightly unconventional to have a mystery novel unfold from the voice of someone dead, don't let this deter you. In fact, I found this narrative choice incredibly gripping, and I enjoyed getting Gracie's personal insights and reflections on her friends.' Good Reading 'Reading this book has the feel of ambling around Perth on a hot summer day, and that makes it the perfect read for this time of year. That, plus the compelling mystery and beautiful writing make the novel near impossible to put down. I devoured it in an evening.' AU Review
