That's the suspense. He is usually skirting the issue, LOL!

Oh, this book looks like it might have had such potential! Sory to see it only got 2 stars. Amazing review!

Forrest can definitely earn more stars if he addresses the issues cited. Thanks for the kind words.

It sounds like this book had a good concept that fell a bit flat on execution. I think I will take a pass on adventuring through Queensland with this book. Thank you for a thorough and honest review.

The buildup took a while. Forrest would do well to lessen the fluff.

It is so good that the writer meets your expectations about the villain of the story. Most of the time, there is always a great thriller but a predictable culprit. Wonderful review!

I believe people are inherently good. Sometimes, though, circumstances make some of us take the wrong turn.

Thank you for your wonderful comment!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for the appreciation. This book gave me more knowledge about that country-continent down under.

The title gave me the idea that it would be a really spooky read. It does sound interesting but the errors are a let down. I do hope the author does some patching up. Thank you for a wonderful review!

Not that spooky. But the book has its climactic moments. It just needs a little shearing here and there.

The sheep may not appreciate the scrutiny of a wolf, but a Wolfe would be welcome!

Thanks for the sweet words.
