![]() It’s an entertaining enough read, even though I can’t say it was one of my favorites. The plot itself is quite interesting and touches some interesting themes like corruption and racial prejudice. That said, I also admire the author for having used the Aussie words, since it makes the story more authentic. There is a glossary in the back, but still it might complicate reading the story for those who are not familiar with the words. I like it when local knowledge shows in a story, although I do have to admit that the amount of Australian slang used in the story did slow down the pace considerably. The promise of a proper crime story set in the middle of Australia convinced me straight away, and I think the setting is what I ended up liking most of this novel by Peter Temple. ![]() When I saw a copy of The Broken Shore on the hostel shelves, I knew I had to pick it up. The mystery/thriller genre is one of my favorites, so I’m always on the lookout for new books belonging to the genre. ![]()
