Well I'm about a third of the way through this and I'm still waiting for something to happen - I will persevere.

Though I know that as soon as I have finished this one will be released. I'm rather disappointed as I'd only heard good things about this book - who knows, perhaps all the good stuff is in the bit I've not read, and it's good enough to make me forget the first part!

HURRAH! I have finally finished this book! And fortunately, it did get a bit better.

The basic premise - single white female (Tansy)travels round Asia, making friends and finding herself and true love on the way - has been told before. The twist, is that at the same time, a 'madman' is killing other single white females, that look like Tansy, in the places that she is planning to visit.

A different take on the usual 'crime' stories, however, in my opinion, Tansy isn't that likeable a character and it wasn't until the last few chapters that I started to want her to 'live happily ever after'!
