Review: Maintained interest to the end

The lead character is strong and the mystery maintained until close enough to the end. The movement between some scenes was a little jerky but not enough to affect the flow. The tone was not tough enough to entirely suit me but it did suit the characters. I've realized over the last few years that Australian crime fiction comes in a wide variety of styles, unlike US crime novels which seem to be consistently 'tough guy', even those with female leads (maybe they're written by males - didn't think to check). So the 'softer' style didn't bother me as it might have done a few years ago. A good story that kept me interested. 4/5.
