The Broken Shore

De: Peter Temple

Narrado por: Peter Hosking

Broken by his last case, homicide detective Joe Cashin has fled the city and returned to his hometown to run its one-man police station while his wounds heal and the nightmares fade.

He lives a quiet life with his two dogs in the tumbledown wreck his family home has become. It's a peaceful existence - ideal for the rehabilitating man. But his recovery is rudely interrupted by a brutal attack on Charles Bourgoyne, a prominent member of the local community. Suspicion falls on three young men from the local Aboriginal community.

But Cashin's not so sure, and as the case unfolds amid simmering corruption and prejudice, he finds himself holding on to something that it might be better to let go...

Humour hidden in the darkness

I loved the narrator as he really brought out the witty quick dialogue and it’s so unique to find such rich though damaged characters in a crime novel nothing to criticise at all !
