gadrake 's review for:
The Broken Shore
by Peter Temple
Excellent mystery, but am going to go out on a limb and suggest that this one is especially tailor made for dudes. Terse, spare language (with some minor 'locker room' phrases) in brief chapters that steadily ratchet up the tension about a lonely on-the-outs cop all suggest a novel that men may relate to best.
With brief glimpses of emotion and insights into his pervasive loneliness and disillusionment, a cop stands up for what is right... against the system. It's a bleak setting in cold, wet, and windy Australia. The author takes you right there, complete with lots of unfamiliar yet understandable slang. What seems like a common crime turns into soooo much more with political and racist issues going head-to-head.
This is a moody, psychological mystery. Came highly recommended and am happy to support that.
