Media Reviews
One of the most outrageously funny voices in modern detective fiction. * * The Age (Melbourne) * *
I look forward to the next Murray Whelan book with the same anticipation of pleasure that I feel for the new Carl Hiaasen or Elmore Leonard. * * Sydney Morning Herald * *
Murray is a great creation, one that takes the wisecracking cracking wise guy into a whole new realm. * * Houston Chronicle * *
Whelan's wry social commentaries, ironic observations and many failed attempts at getting the girl make him one of Australian crime-fiction's most attractive characters. * * Who Weekly * *
