Bought for the Miles Franklin challenge (see tqd's bookshelf) I am still deciding whether to plunge straight into this or to read The Broken Shore first (the prequel).

This book was the winner of the Miles Franklin award for 2010 which surprised many since it's a crime novel.

Received from goodthinkingmax over a delicious and virtuous Omega-3 breakfast. Thanks!

Halfway through this book and loving it. I'm having some trouble with the abbreviated conversations and jargon, but I assume that more avid readers of crime would have an easier time. The politics and the shock jocks are so believable that I nervously have to assume that the crime is believable too.

Thumping good hardboiled crime set in present-day Melbourne. Really enjoyed it, thanks!

Crasy is reading this. I promise to hassle him, violently, if he takes more than a week or so. I hope you don't mind...
