I thoroughly enjoyed this murder mystery which is set in Australia. It had plenty of red herrings and an engaging, likeable heroine - an amateur sleuth who is drawn into the case first by self-serving curiosity and then because of her friendship with those involved.As she tries to make amends for triggering renewed press and police interest in a couple whose lives have been ruined by a murder that the husband has been accused of committing, we see that Jacinta has a gift for investigation and the doggedness required to get to the bottom of the case. Hopefully this won't be Jacinta's last case - I'm hoping that people will continue to drop dead around her and that Vicki Tyley will write the next installment. I'll certainly read it if she does.
