The Old School by P.M. Newton

5.0

Stayed up late finishing this book last night. PM Newton worked as a police officer for thirteen years in Sydney and The Old School is a engrossing procedural set in the 1990s. When two bodies are discovered in cement at an old building site Nhu "Ned" Kelly finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation that hits close to home. There are a lot of threads and layers to the book, and a very satisfying murder mystery. Newton's world view is coloured by her experiences and she's said in an interview that life isn't all perfectly tied up, and that's the sort of book she writes. Loved The Old School and looking forward to reading the sequel Beams Falling.
