A review by balthazarlawson
Dead Cat Bounce by Peter Cotton
5.0
I come from Canberra so with the book being set in Canberra, and reading in the middle of an election campaign, this book had a bit of resonance with me. Of course the current election is no where near as deadly as the one featured in the book.
I enjoyed this a lot as it moved along at a nice pace and didn't get too bogged down. There was a nice amount of action and suspense.
One slight issue is with the opening as the setting of the book was not clearly defined. To say that a body was found by the lake is very unclear as the lake is quiet large and there are hundreds of places a body could be dumped. Especially when later in the book settings were very clearly defined.
