![]() ![]() Peter Temple writes prose in small, clipped phrases as opposed to fully grammatical sentence structure, and the Aussie uplift at the end of each phrase made it a little difficult to follow a narrative arc. ![]() I loved listening to the Aussie accent, and I gave this book my full attention, but it was tricky and at times difficult to listen to. The narrator did a very nice job presenting the story and was easier to understand as I got more familiar with the Australian accent. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to explore police procedurals from other countries. The Australian dialect was key to the book, but was sort of hard to get at times. The story seemed to reflect the main character's outlook on life as a generally burned out detective. I suppose that it had to start out slow, but it really took a long time as I kept wondering what the dang book was about! But it did pick up and the story unleashed itself in the final few hours of the audio. I thought the story itself was drawn out and it started slowly. ![]() The author's sense of humor was subtle, but it was there. I found that pretty funny at times and enjoyed it. This author has a nice writing style that uses a lot of short phrases to respond to narrative or environment. ![]() This is an all Australian production from the author and setting to the narrator. ![]()
