I ordered this as a freebie, a filler until I can decide what to read next. I am certainly glad now that it caught my eye!The book is well-written, adequately proofread (very few typographical errors) and obviously well-researched. Without knowing anything about the author, I would surmise he is a professional writer and trained researcher, very familiar with his subject.The stories are well-told, with very little in the way of conclusions drawn by the author. He simply presents the facts as they are known, in an entertaining and engaging fashion, and leaves the reader to ponder and wonder.I will certainly be ordering the other book,Australia's Strangest Mysteries, soon, and will be keeping an eye out for other work by this author.I rated this particular edition 4 stars because I read it on a Kindle Keyboard, an e-ink device, and the pictures and images for the most part were grouped toward the middle of the book, rather than being integrated into the story, or at the end of the chapter. I expect the print version of this book has glossy picture pages in the middle, as the formatting of this edition is similar in style.
