After her expert evidence helps win a high-profile court case, Anya is asked by lawyer Dan Brody to look into the drug overdose of a young Lebanese girl.

I loved this book.
Are you surprised?
I seem to be chosing a heap of books at the moment that I'm loving which is great. It also means I'm getting through them at a huge rate - which is even better because the Bookalanche next to my bed is teetering.
It is so nice to read a thriller by an Australian author - and I've given myself a challenge, to find more of them. It's great to be able to support some local talent.
The main character, Dr Anya Crichton is a great character. I immediately connected with her being a mother of small children myself. I also felt empathy with this character, which makes me think that this is the sign of an excellent story. If you can relate on this sort of level with either a character in a book or a movie - then it's always going to be a great book/film.
I'm about to start her second book ~ Without Consent, so I'm hoping she starts touching on her relationships (or lack of) with her parents and her ex-husband. Also there some tensions (or there appeared to be) developing between her and her close friend Detective Sergeant Kate Farrer which I can't wait to delve into deeper.
Great book and can't wait to read the rest.
