Review: Entertaining mystery

I enjoy a good mystery, but I'm usually annoyed by either the overly simplistic plot (where's the fun when you have it all figured out in chapter 2?), the ridiculously improbable circumstances, and/or the last-minute introduction of a minor character as the criminal mastermind.  This novel started off a bit slowly, but it didn't take long for the action to speed up.  I enjoyed trying to figure out how everything was connected along with Roxy, and while the main "whodunnit" was fairly evident, there were a lot of twists along the way that kept me second-guessing.  And well, the Australian location & slang were really fun for this American girl.  There was a bit of language here and there and some sexual references, so while I wouldn't loan it to my 14 YO niece, I definitely would recommend it to my girlfriends.
