Sandy Curtis

This was such a wonderful story. Everyone should have friends who will share the good times and the bad with you, and help you bury the bodies if necessary. Though in Ellie's case it was help her solve a murder.
I devoured it in one sitting and I know that this is a book I will cherish for many years to come.
Any book by Sandy Curtis is an auto buy for me and she never disappoints, especially when the story twists and takes me to unexpected places.
Loved it!

I have read this a few times and enjoyed it each time. I have never read the books in order though, they are stand alone stories with the characters taking their turns in centre stage.
This time I began with Dance with the Devil and I'm reading Sandy's books in their proper order. This was my first encounter with Sandy Curtis back in 2002 and hooked me from the beginning.

That sentence there is just one of my problems with this book. We know the character lives in Brisbane, therefore using Brisbane again is redundant. And the writer spends way too much time using car names - maybe there was a sponsership there.

When I picked this book up, I thought 'interesting - a murder mystery set in Brisbane.' But Brisbane served for little but a mention of Pulp Fiction, and some typical summer storms. Then the writer took the mystery back to Sydney where Libby woke up one show more morning to find her mother dead, herself not remembering the past few days and someone insisting that she killed her mother.

A poorly written, unfleshed out, mystery with requisite romance. And not enough good Brisbane. show less
