Review: Complex mystery
Rating: 5 out of 5

Tyley is a master at weaving a complex, multilayered plot.  The many characters Jemma meets starting with the manager of her sister's apartment and the police detective who assists her, continuing to her sister's friends and co-workers, all have unclear alliances and murky agendas.  Everyone is a possible ally or a potential foe.  The more Jemma uncovers about her sister and the other characters the cloudier the picture gets.  Somehow Tyley managed to keep me guessing and second guessing what really happened right up until the end.Ms Tyley is an Australian resident and the book takes place in Australia.  This means you'll see an occasional Aussie-ism.  There is also some word usage that may be unfamiliar to US readers as well as Australian/UK spelling.The copy I reviewed was a pre-release version received from the author.
