'The secret to having people give you money is to act as though you don't want it.' Meet Ella Canfield, highly qualified evolutionary biologist. Attractive, if a little serious-looking in those heavy glasses - but then she's about to put her career on the line. Dr Canfield is seeking funding for a highly unorthodox research project. She wants to prove that an extinct animal still roams in one of Australia's most popular national parks. Meet Daniel Metcalf, good-looking, expensively dishevelled millionaire. Quite witty but far too rich to be taken seriously. He heads the Metcalf Trust, which donates money to offbeat scientific research projects. He has a personal interest in animals that don't exist. Problem number one- There is no such person as Dr Ella Canfield. Problem number two- Della Gilmore, professional con artist, has never met anyone like Daniel Metcalf before. Someone is going to take a fall. A sparkling, sexy read from the author of Addition, Fall Girl is a story about passion and loyalty, deceit and integrity, and the importance of believing in things that don't exist.

Fall Girl, the latest novel by Toni Jordan, is the sort of book you cant stop reading, yet you dont want it to end. This book has a bit of everything: humour, intrigue, romance, sexual tension, witty dialogue, characters you cant help liking, even a chase! When I read the summary on the back cover, I thought I could predict which way the plot would go, but I was in for a few surprises. Jordan deals with a few issues on the way: knowing who you really are; what you tell yourself about your past; family loyalty and how people justify their (mis)deeds. Full of con artists (but who is really being conned?) who may (or may not) get their comeuppance. I thought it would be difficult to maintain the standard of Toni Jordans excellent debut, Addition, but Fall Girl does so with ease. I look forward to Toni Jordans next novel.
