Ryn Shell really displays her literary talents in her novel, "Billabong Ghost, The Crime That Started...". The story follows Fife, one of many well developed characters, as he travels through the Australian Outback post WWII.  The story has a 1800’s American Western feel to it, but better.  Each character and scene adding richness and depth to the story.I really loved the historical context and the unique and realistic peek into Aboriginal culture and folklore.  It tied together so well with the mystery and mystique surrounding Charlotte.  The plot thickened to a juicy enthrallment of mystery, forbidden and tragic love, and nail-biting suspense.  There were some terms I did not understand, however, Shell so graciously provided a glossary of terms to better understand this intriguing story.If you are a reader that loves a novel that flows incredibly well while keeping you intrigued and engaged every step of the way, then this is the novel for you!  Shell really knows how to keep a reader hungry for more and I cannot wait until the next installment of this series.
