I liked this one because it threw me a couple of curveballs I didn't see coming. I wasn't sure who the killer in either murder was, although I had suspects both of which were of course wrong.

It provides an interesting picture of Australia in the 80s during a market crash. We get to see how the rich are viewed by ordinary cops and how everyone has their own prejudices.

I like this series in general, but this is one of the better installments.

Set during the market crash of 1987, the former head of the Australian Security Force has been missing for twenty years and when a body turns up Scobie draws the case. Interesting look at both a cold case and how the economic highs and lows of the eighties affected Australia.

This actually turned out to be a very good read however it did take a degree of perseverance at the start. Very slow to get going and I honestly don't think I'd have kept reading if it hadn't come highly recommended.
