OK, I'll admit it! I'm hooked on Vicki Tyley's books! Even more so after reading Brittle Shadows, her third book.Vicki's plot has more levels than a high-rise car park, and she leads you round and round, and up and down, until finally the conclusion is revealed. The book is again set in Melbourne and Vicki introduces readers to more of Melbourne's charm as she craftily conceals the villain among several contenders. The plot thickens, the tension builds, as slowly the secrets are disclosed.Her last two books, Thin Blood and Sleight Malice, were both great, but Brittle Shadows is even better. Definitely my favourite so far.  Impeccably written, perfectly formatted, Vicki publishes books that make some TradPub books look amateur. Vicki is rapidly becoming one of Australia's top mystery writers in my opinion.There's only one thing wrong with Vicki's books - they leave you wanting more! Now! :-)
