Summary

"Constructed with superb craftsmanship, written with precision and tough humour, and with an extraordinary story to tell, it seems certain to enjoy a long life." TLS "The book is suffused with a wonderfully achieved sense of menace. Events are quietly encircled with by a mysterious menace, most obviously suggested by the "murder" of the subtitle, which refers to a serial killer who terrorises suburban Perth during the 1950s..." Guardian "A darkly witty memoir of sex, death and hypocrisy in small-town Australia." Daily Telegraph
