I found this hard to put down(figuratively) once I started. The way the various stories are woven in, & the fascinating ideas explored. Of course, I also like works set in my country. The reader is excellent.

How wonderful to have one of Spikes best known books read by himself. It can't get better than that. He wrote in a conversational style - his style, so to have him read it is a good match. He is my favourite nut of all, bar none.

Loved Book 2 just as much as Book 1. It's all such an ingenious idea & I very much admire authors who can imagine complete other worlds. Written with great wit & read perfectly by Ray Porter. Wonderful. Roll on Book 3.

Continuing Australian history(since white settlement) , written in the same style as the other book & also very witty. However, in this is included a chilling account of the agonizing demise of the Aboriginal population of Tasmania. This is an Australian history topic completely ignored in our school curriculum of the 1950's & 60's.
I highly recommend these two books.

This wonderful book & it's sequel 'True Girt'(which I've almost finished) are at once informative & very funny. I'm sure that more school students would be interested in history if presented this way. Anyhow, Australian history was one of only a couple of school subjects that I enjoyed over 50 years ago & now I've learnt much more. These books are a scream.

While it lacks the extreme darkness of the Larsen books, this has quite good pace and I thought read more like a ripping yarn. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good grief! It's Charlies Angels all over again, but with more weapons. Perhaps it appeals to the girls best, but it's just not my taste.

It took me a short time to get used to the dramatisation since it's a long time since I last listened to radio dramas. However, I enjoyed the production very much & the story is good Deaver. Now I'm waiting for the next.

My gripe only applies to the audio production, & that relates to using a foreign reader for for a story set largely in Australia. After some hours of hearing our place names mis-pronounced, I am considering whether I'll stick it out to the end.
Any future Tara Moss I read will be in print.

I was very pleased to find Stuart MacB's novels 'Dark Blood' & 'Close to the Bone'. Lots more wonderful dark Scots humour & abuse as well as excellent plotting. Not for the faint heated. I'm looking forward to reading the rest on the list.
