About
Geelong Booklovers - are you ready to discover your new favourite Aussie crime writer? Lyn Yeowart hails from Melbourne and her second novel is called The Hollow Girl.It is a thrilling and devastating crime novel set in a home for unmarried mothers. When a body is
discovered at the home, the truth behind the ‘safe haven’ for lost girls is about to be uncovered - with explosive consequences.
