Summary: Crazy Combinations Magically Mixed!
Review: Death Down Under is the movie shoot where Sybil is working, the Orange Strangler is the serial killer Carol is hunting. No connection? Hang onto your koala, it gets more and more interesting! I found myself going back to check up on people as I tried to guess the culprit, which I did - 2 paragraphs before the arrest! Enjoy!

Summary: Finally, Ashton as a Cop!!
Review: The third in the Carol Ashton series sees the formidable Inspector and her faithful sidekick, Sergeant Bourke, on the trail of a serial killer dubbed the Orange Strangler. In this book, Carol Ashton finally reveals herself to be the highly competent and experienced police officer she is meant to be, as McNab concentrates on the hard slog of policing, rather than on the private life of the Detectoive Inspector. Furthermore, when private interludes are included, they are realistic and almost free of the self-indulgent whining found in McNab's earlier novels. Unfortunately, the solution to this crime is obvious quite early in the piece, and certainly way before the climax. Nevertheless, this is a well written and engrossing book
