Review: Just ok, moved a little slow

I had trouble getting into this story, part of it may be due to the unfamiliarity with some of the Australian terminology and prose, but it seemed a little slow to me.  While the character history was well done, their current actions seemed contrived.  However, the history between Jacinta and her brother was an interesting side story and well written.  There were several good parts that were suspenseful, but the ending was hard to believe.  I think the ten year time frame after the alleged crime was unrealistic; it would have been more believable at five years and under.  Overall, the book was just ok for me, mainly because of the character's actions and the abrupt ending, but I think the author does show promise. On a side note, my lukewarm opinion of this book did not stop me from taking advantage of the promotional price on her new book, Sleight Malice, which is an excellent suspense novel that kept me on the edge of my seat!
