Verified Purchase on Amazon.co.ukIt's not the first book by author Shell that I read and again she did not disappoint me.The mysterious death of Charlotte triggers a very interesting novel full of twist and turns. I don't know if it's completely intended by the author, but Billabong Ghost is a superb window on Australian history. I know that Aussie heritage is one of the main topic of the novel, hence I like to underline this detail of Shell's style.I've never been in Australia, yet I could smell and see everything the characters lived. The historical age after WW2 war is often a main topic in European plots, while this time I had the chance to know more about Australia's story.I quite liked the way the plot and the events flow on the book. I liked it so much that I spent an entire afternoon glued on it, turning the pages and not realising the time passing.I think I'm going to buy also the rest of the series.
