Maybe at a first glance, many readers might be tempted to criticize this book because of the slang - but a little bit of research and also the author's helpful glossary  will indicate the fact that this is not slang, it is actually Australian English. For me, it is the first time I have the chance to read an Australian novel - but I am quite sure I have made the right choice. A post World War II mystery book, captivating and intriguing, with an interesting stage setting, as I have never been to Australia - the "Billabong Ghost" book 1 proved to be a very interesting reading for me. A travel back in time, an insightful overview of a couple of Australian cultural aspects, a mysterious death and a coming of age story.
