Heidi's meant to be having the time of her life on exchange in Switzerland, but instead she's cold, alone and on an involuntary dairy-free diet. So when she hears the news of her brother Felix's death, she's quick to jump on the first plane home to Perth. To be completely honest, Felix wasn't that much of a brother, so Heidi's not that sad – but she's not exactly happy either. Thanks to an epic betrayal…
After a horrendous exchange in Switzerland, Heidi travels back to Australia for her brother’s funeral though, quite frankly, she’s quite not sad at all. Reeling from the betrayal of her best friend and boyfriend, she befriends Patrick, her newly widowed sister in law’s brother. Patrick convinces her to look into her brother’s odd death. This was a great book with an engaging plot that kept me interested in the outcome, but more depth could have been given to Felix and his past actions. Overall a compelling book that left me wanting a little more.
