Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

A successful romance author writes about a successful romance author turned sleuth. The mystery is well researched and filled with salacious characters--any of whom would stab any other in the back just for the amusement of it. The story starts as a murder on a train, The Ghan, traveling deluxe from Sydney to Alice Springs, Australia, and continues with other deaths in the Outback and back at home in Sydney. Stephanie Daniel portrays the characters with verve and delight. She falters not at all when reading male dialogue; she's as credible as a teenaged boy as a society grande dame. Daniel helps us sort out the good from the bad, and ultimately the mad, with subtle shifts in inflection and pitch. B.H.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This review is from: Who Killed Bianca? (Paperback)

This is the trip of a lifetime. K.C. Gordon, who is a romance writer is going to use this holiday to relax and meet new people. She starts to meet the other passengers as they assemble on the platform, waiting to board one of Australia's most legendary great train, The Ghan. K C starts to think that the passengers who are high flyers, all with some secrets to hide, could become some of her characters in her next novel.

One passenger Bianca Bernini, a gossip columnist is on this trip also wanting to uncover scandal from the 8 elite passengers. She knows many of their secrets already and wants to surprise them with some of them. Bianca will then find out more about them before she puts it all in print. She loves stiring the pot. Bianca does not care that she is getting so many dirty looks from other passengers cringing away from her, knowing that she could ruin some of their lives with her gossip. She does not forsee the trouble she is about to cause will result in her murder.

The book was one of the best mysteries I have ever read. The story line was not predictable, the train journey was descriptive, we got to meet and understand each of the passengers and the murderer was not apparent until right at the end. I really enjoyed this book.
