Sergeant Alan McKinnon (Darwin PD) was watching Sandy Bowen (25+, Glebe Coroner, pathologist), & Ron (tech) examine the murder victim.
England-Australia Susan McDonald (24, backpacker) was really thrilled about the test she just took. But she was still going to enjoy her holiday.
London, England. Heathrow. Mark “Crocodile Man” Bennet (33, Susan’s ex-lover, psychopath, Aussie, Outback) had given Susan his blessing to be with someone else.
She was still up in the air if she was going to break up with David.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one. All thoughts & opinions are entirely my own.

A very awesome book cover, & proper great font & writing style. A very well written down under crime thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great down under crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free Beyond Books Edition; Smashwords; Author; PDF book

I was hooked immediately. Unfortunately it was very focused on spirits of dead animals and I find that kind of thing creepy and had to stop reading. The story synopsis does not mention this and I feel strongly that it should.
