Why did you read this book? I was looking for something by an Australian author, and I’d enjoyed one of the author’s books before (albeit in high school).

Has Jeremy read it? No, and it’s another one he won’t.

42 word review: The book started with an unsolved murder, but then focused on the characters whose relationships were affected by the crime. Unfortunately, the characters’ motivations were unconvincing, the revelations about the murderer came out of nowhere, and the prose was workmanlike, at best.
