Book wireframe First and foremost while the body is found in the Mallee most of the book takes place in Melbourne While I quite like Melbourne and am happy to read books set there as well I was hoping for in and around the Mallee. Book wire binding Second I guessed a lot of the murder the method to disguise it and even several elements of the B story involving the detective s girlfriend Some of this definitely attests to the writer s skill and I ve read some bad mystery books were even when explained the methods and motives are still pretty murky On the other hand I found this a little too obvious. Book wire transfer As I did say this isn t a bad book It is well written well paced and the characters are actually quite well done I was worried at first that I wasn t going to like the detective as he s really into running and I am definitely not However he is engaging and has greater depth One quibble I did have though was that the main character is Andre and he has a partner named Alex I ended up getting these two confused about a dozen times during the book I really wish that the author had renamed the partner Russ or Peter or as he is Greek even Demitrios Granted this is just me though. Wire and Bone kindle reader Coincidence is another fault with this book perhaps it s major fault The detective almost literally stumbles over the body located in the middle of the Wyperfeld National Park and they go one to state what a massive coincidence this is The detective even picks the cause of death from finding the remains and accurately determines that they have been there for six months just by looking at them for ten minutes The resolution also features a massive coincidence with a photo.
