My Thoughts:
I really, really enjoyed this book.  Matt has arrived at his uncle's home in Australia for an unannounced holiday.  He has been living and working in England and left out of the family loop, it seems especially when it comes to the kidnapping of niece and nephew and subsequent murder of the nephew.  His family life gets even more complicated, then his personal life and he encounters several twists and turns as he tries to figure out exactly what is going on!
I liked the story line and that just when  you think you have everything figured out there is another twist to throw you.  The mix of characters was intriguing and I really liked Matt.  He missed his family while he was running his business but took his responsibility very seriously.  The twists within the family and the secrets keep you intrigued.
I rate this a 4/5.  It was a good romantic mystery and I look forward to reading more from this author.
