Jordan’s boyfriend has now arrived in Australia and is apparently planning to break into camp and stake his claim. Perhaps he should watch yesterday’s programme before he […]

Good Read

The books are very well written murder mystery stories from the point of view of the chief medical examiner. A must for anyone interested in forensic science style investigative stories. I thought I’d missed a few along […]
