Bones of Contention: A Dinah Pelerin Mystery, by Jeanne Matthews (Poisoned Pen Press)

"Bloody murder in a country house in the Ozzie outback, featuring the most dysfunctional family since Cold Comfort Farm."
-- Dana Stabenow, Edgar-winning author of A Night Too Dark

 Jeanne Matthews' Bones of Contention has it all:  clever plotting, corkscrew twists, and lively, entertaining characters.  And then there's the bonus of the Australian locale— and lingo—both of which are laid out for us with verve and wit.  What Matthews has done, and done cleverly, is to take that most traditional and charming of murder-mystery settings, the country-house party, fill it with Americans instead of Brits, plop it down in the wilds of Australia's Northern Territory, and invest the whole thing with an unmistakably modern sensibility. It's a first-rate debut, and that's the dinki-doo. -- Aaron Elkins,
Edgar-winning author of Old Bones
