I detective stories from other countries. This was Australian. The writing was interesting to me. It had to be because you know who done it early on. The end of the book, however, was weak. I read it as a Talking Book. Antonietta tesfaye693 1 followerRead

Very entertaining police procedure. The characters are unique. Would have enjoyed a bit more meat to the story. It had its twists and turns but some was a bit unnecessary which diluted the story. Dillwynia Peter330 64

An easy read & although you know the murderer midway through, it has the suspense of will the police find the killer before they strike again.

However, I did find the book a little dated & I fear will age badly. It was published in 2001 & is full of Sydney Olympic references and the effects on the city. I lived in Sydney through this period and theoretically, they should have been fun. But they weren't; I felt they were irrelevant and over time, readers wouldn't care one way or another. Which is interesting, as this isn't the case when reading books set in dynamic events such as World Wars, or literature written in the 19th century. Nabarun164 3

A nice free flowing detective novel, a double homicide mystery based out of Sydney. My first Australian author, d the style and was excited reading the local references. The ending is crisp, though the murderer gets exposed towards the middle of the book. Scobie Malone, Detective Inspector of NSW police and the protagonist of the story is nice. Just that not much commentary is given about how expert a sleuth he is and the story is "Arthur Conan Doyle" novel. Quick & nice read. Mary817 12
