- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Powered through this book, great story-telling, contemporary writing about a crime in rural Australia in the 1920's - the set up weaves in multiple insights into the history and culture of the times, not heavy handed but poignant and while it could quite rightly be the beginning of a new detective series; I would love a book 2 to hear what happens next in a number of the characters lives.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting plot with plenty of potential but too many adjectives for me. The author seemed to be attempting to write in a period manner and it just didn't convince, and also the attempts at humour weren't successful (assuming the business with the moustache was meant to be funny?). I came to this as it's set in my neck of the woods but left it wishing that it had had a better editor.
