A G'Day for a Mystery!

Nancy Curteman's novel, Murder Down Under, is a fast paced case full of twists and turns- and plenty of red herrings. One minute I am suspecting the sweet old landlady offering up her sweet chocolates, and the next I am keeping my eyes on the Head Detective Christie! Curteman's novel is full of Australian history; she plugs many things into the novel, from local favorites of food and drink, to compelling nuggets of info on the native Aborigine. I found myself drawn into the setting, wanting to travel myself to the great Outback! Curteman makes sure to leave her chapters in cliffhanger mode, leaving the reader to try and figure out her vast array of clues and red herrings. A small sidetrack into romance is an added plus, and you can't help but root for Lysi and Maynard to find a way to trust in relationships again. A great read- recommended to all fans of mystery!
