Summary
'Jesus Christ. I found one.' These words are blurted over the phone to Constable Snowy Lane, who is preoccupied with no more than a ham sandwich and getting a game with the East Fremantle league side on Saturday. They signal the beginning of a series of events that are to shake Perth to its foundations.
It is 1979, and Perth is jumping with pub bands and overnight millionaires. 'Mr Gruesome' has just taken another victim. Snowy's life and career are to be forever changed by the grim deeds of a serial killer and the dark bloom spreading across the City of Light.

A quagmire of similes
A good story well read - could have benefitted from better editing, the similes were coming a mile a minute and at times ruined my enjoyment

Overall a good but convoluted yarn
So, you need to pay attention in between the colloquial analogies. You can imagine this story being told over a beer in a seedy bar and a bit Sam Spade in places. So many characters, suspects and twists so pay attention. But a good ending that wrapped up all the loose ends.

Couldn’t finish
I’m usually a big fan of Australian crime novels, but after 4 hours I gave up, very long winded and I believe it was first published in 1996 and it really suffered from being dated as the world is now a very different place and the sexist comments just don’t sit comfortably, narrators voice droned on so rather disappointing.

OK, I guess.
OK if you like that sort of thing. Quite a fast narration of what could be a good detective story. I don’t know, because I lost interest at the first sex scene.
You might like it, though.

Great story, well read.
As a fan of all things WA I was pleased to discover the Dave Warner books, Ric Herbert did a good job as a narrator and I enjoyed this book greatly,
Pleased to discover there was a second book.

Good Read
Came to this after enjoying a number of Garry Disher crime novels.
I enjoyed the portrait of WA and the intermingling of footy, police and politics. The plot was multi faceted and well pulled together at the end.
Didn’t give 5 star rating as felt overly long, few too many similes and at times a little sexist - I guess a product of when it was written or was that just a reflection of WA?
I will def be reading some more of Dave Warners books and seeing how his style and approach evolves.

Very dated & full of cliche Aussie blokes!
Could not keep listening, full of the most cliched idea of Aussie blokes and the misogynistic language you’d expect them to engage in - very disappointing.
