Review of 'Crucifixion Creek' on 'LibraryThing'
Reviewed for Reviewing the Evidence. Brilliant first half, introducing a mixed-race ex-soldier police detective in Australia who want to find out how his parents were killed and his wife left blind after a car wreck. The second half goes off the rails and over the top with an awful lot of violence and mayhem. Still, a promising start to a trilogy that also features a reporter who won't stop chasing the story. Rather reminiscent of Peter Temple more than Maitland's Kolla and Brock series.
