The book takes place in Australia, narration was done by someone with an accent. It was good for me, but someone who has trouble understanding accents in general might not be happy, and question my 5 star rating. This is the second in the Harriet Blue series, but you don't have to read the first to follow along. Without giving too much away, Harriet is a detective with authority and family issues who gets sent out of the city to stay out of trouble, but trouble finds her. The ending encourages one to see what happens next, but doesn't leave you with an irritating cliff hanger. I enjoyed the read, but probably will look at other series from Patterson to read next. Sometimes you identify with a character, sometimes you don't.
