Leggy from Down Under ,

Excellent

This is the second book read by this author & neither have disappointed in the least (Anatomy of a Scandal). Just when you think you have come to the conclusion the story twists yet again & on it goes. Very clever plot writing. I also enjoyed the manner in which characters are introduced, built into the theme & the very human characteristics I find make the reader question their motives put in various situations. Very realistic indeed which makes the storyline all the more engrossing.
