This is the second book by this author that I've read and it is the 10th book in the Scobie Malone series. I enjoy crime/mystery novels. The books in this series are easy reads. I the Australian setting. The MC is also very likable.

As a whole, the plot felt slow in places. There was a lot of talking about the crime, but not much action. The plus side of that, is that the dialogue was well written. The characters often said things that were completely unexpected. I d that. So 3 stars.crime-mystery2 s Mary586 11

Interesting murder story of a husband killed for his wife's affair and lots of Russian money that comes into play threatening his family and Scobie's daughter Claire. Eric_W1,930 384

I have become a fan of Jon Cleary who writes with a rather cynical eye toward Australian society. They are not high literature, just good solid stories with interesting characters. No point is recapping the plot as I'd have to write spoiler all over it anyway. I'm gradually working my way through the entire Scobie Malone series.. Maccas50 3

Listened to unabridged audio version. First in series for me and I enjoyed it. Wish library had the whole series on audio. Not quite Wallander standard, but the characters are interesting, even if the plot is a bit far fetched. Listening to book 12 now and it's not disappointing.audio-books Eric_W1,930 384
