 Rachel Watts has moved to the bustling metropolis of Melbourne and is really missing the relaxing sites and sounds of the country. She is attracted to and feels compelled to help her eccentric seventeen year old neighbour James Mycroft.
When Watts and Mycroft go for their regular Thursday night visit to see Homeless Dave, they are shocked to discover their friend is dead and his dog has vanished. The police write it off as a attack on a defenseless man and are not prepared to investigate any deeper into the case, but Mycroft and Watts think otherwise. The thing I liked best about this story is that I didn't figure it out until almost the end, and that's why students are going to like it as well. There are some aspects that they just won't anticipate. Jolly good.

I love a good mystery, and although I correctly guessed the murderer in the first chapter, I still thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns.
