Icefall - by Marie Connolly Two mysteries, two separate investigations - or are they? A melting glacier gives up its secrets, a man is murdered in his ritzy beachside home, and the Christchurch detectives get to work. A handful of rich listers start eyeing their assets and shaking in their Jimmy Choos, but the police are cold on the trail until once again Detective Jack Simmons calls on criminal psychologist Nellie Prayle to help them navigate a powerful web of secrets and lies frozen in time. Set against the dramatic beauty of the Southern Alps and the elite world of some of Christchurch’s rich and powerful, Icefall is a classic murder mystery. Catherine sits down with Author Marie Connelly to talk about this second highly anticipated Nellie Prayle crime novel. Marie's first novel, Dark Sky, was shortlisted for the Ngai Marsh Awards.
