The Autumn Murders
The series that began with The Holiday Murders and The Port Fairy Murders now continues with The Autumn Murders …
In the autumn of 1944, George Starling prepares to exact revenge on the person he hates most in the world (and Starling has a long list of people he hates), Detective Joe Sable of the Melbourne Homicide division. Driven by his dark passion for Nazism, Starling is going to make sure that nothing and no one will stand in his way and survive.
Homicide is in turmoil. Riven by internal divisions and disrupted by the war, it has become a dangerous place for Joe to work. Constable Helen Lord, suspended from her position in Homicide, and battling grief, is also in Starling’s sights. Knowing that Inspector Titus Lambert can’t protect them from Starling’s ruthless aim, Helen and Joe decide to set their own trap. But when the trap is sprung, who will be caught in it?
The Autumn Murders is a stylish, historical whodunit, written with wit and insight into the dark corners where the worst of us hides.

The blurb for “The Autumn Murders” by Australian author Robert Gott, suggests it is funny, brutal and relentless. I agree with the last two but what’s funny about a psychopath dispatching his victims with a filleting knife? It is 1944, and with the war turning against the 3rd Reich, Nazi sympathisers in Australia are dismissing newspaper reports as communist propaganda. In particular George Starling, son of a brutal father, is seeking revenge against Victorian police detective Joe Sable - a Jew who escaped his clutches - and Constable Helen Lord, holding them responsible for the death of fanatical Social Nationalist Ptolemy Jones. (This occurred in a previous book but the author helpfully provides a brief background).
Meanwhile the Vic Police are in turmoil: Inspector Titus Lambert tries to deal with corrupt homicide detectives, homophobia, antisemitism and misogyny within the ranks. A wealthy businessman with links to the Melbourne club who dies mysteriously, proves to be Helen Lord’s uncle. The establishment gets a serve, also Roman Catholicism for its “exclusion” policy, and early pagan religions.
The highlights of the book is the strength of the female characters, noble under wilting attack from men, its raising of PTSD among servicemen – unrecognised at the time, and the mateship that allowed those affected to deal with the villain. The low point? Why introduce a loony with a shotgun when it served little purpose?
Verdict: Overkill.

The Autumn Murders is the third book in the Holiday Murders series by Australian author, Robert Gott, and follows on directly from The Port Fairy Murders. Still intent on settling scores, George Starling goes into hiding and changes his appearance, to continue evading capture, until he can kill, preferably very slowly, DS Joe Sable and Constable Helen Lord, for a start. When he needs accommodation and support, he knows just where to go.
After recent shocking events in Port Fairy, Helen Lord is angry and disappointed by her two-week suspension, despairing that she has lost her position in the Homicide division despite DI Titus Lambert’s efforts in her favour. But more grief is coming her way when it appears that her uncle may have incurred someone’s homicidal wrath: a corrupt cop, a disgruntled ex-fiancée and a dissatisfied businessman are all in the frame for this.
Joe Sable is witness to a disturbing shooting that he cannot, in all conscience, allow to go unreported, to the likely detriment of his career, and possibly his safety. Titus Lambert’s brother-in-law is recovering well from the torture he endured at the hands of Ptolemy Jones and determined to track down George Starling to bring him to justice; he invites Joe Sable to participate.
By the end of this instalment, there is a fairly high body count that includes four police officers, although not all are murders, and the murders are not all committed by George Starling. Titus Lambert’s Homicide division is much depleted, through killings, dishonourable discharge and resignations.
Gott easily evokes the era, with a community mindset pervaded by homophobia, xenophobia, religious intolerance and a culture of corruption within the police force. The story features several characters suffering what will later be termed PTSD, courtesy of violent criminals and the war, as well as an interesting side effect of pollution.
While this is a dark and gritty tale, both dialogue and inner monologues are sources of (often very black) humour that breaks the tension. Gott’s main protagonists, especially the strong and smart females, have more than enough appeal, for all their flaws (except Maude, who clearly has no flaws at all!). This is very atmospheric historical crime fiction, and it will be interesting to see where Gott takes the reader in the next book, The Orchard Murders.

It's 1944 and the Melbourne police force faces a dire situation; multiple police officers have been murdered and a Nazi sympathizer has resumed hostilities against those his people so publicly oppress. For Joe Sable and his boss, Titus Lambert, a ghost from a murderous past returns to haunt them and the only outcome involves bloodshed and death.
Despite a solid premise and interesting reoccurring characters, The Autumn Murders felt too bogged down with filler content; whole chapters did little to progress the story while the murder mystery theme of the previous book, The Port Fairy Murders, was lacking. Nothing really surprised or jumped out with that 'awe' inspiring moment or revelation to turn the story on its head; the story just unfolded slowly and without much drama.
My rating: 2.5/5: Whilst the book didn't work me, The Autumn murders is a pivotal book in the series which sets an interesting new direction for the characters who have been so prominent over this and the previous two volumes. Despite my unfavorable review of this book, I'm looking forward to the next installment.

As per the blurb, this is a series that started out with THE HOLIDAY MURDERS, then came THE PORT FAIRY MURDERS and now THE AUTUMN MURDERS. At this point it's very much a series that needs to be read in order, as the back story here is really going to be important to a reader understanding the implications of George Starling's plans for revenge.
Starling is a very different sort of villain for Robert Gott to be tackling. He's almost all consuming, particularly in THE AUTUMN MURDERS, and whilst there are the good guys, Detective Joe Sable and Constable Helen Lord in particular, their stories take a bit of a back seat to the all consuming evil that is George Starling. It's also pretty easy to assume that in the 1940's the passion for Nazism wasn't as prevalent here, particularly in the country towns of Australia. Can't help feeling that's the same mistake we're all making again. It's novels like THE AUTUMN MURDERS that help to provide an important reminder that it doesn't take much when it comes to radicalisation, and the pathways to it, and support for it, are often found in mania and mindless following of all sorts of "doctrines". This is an aspect of Gott's writing in this series that I've increasingly come to respect - he's able to tease out the worse excesses of human nature in an low key, almost mannered way, making it all the more sobering, without losing those delicate touches of wit and irony that he's particularly good at.
But mannered, and stylish this whole series has been, although THE AUTUMN MURDERS is more gruesome, more dark and sobering than either of the earlier novels. Perhaps because Starling, his obsessions, his violence and his ruthlessness take such focus away from the better people in the world. Joe Sable and his personal demons, Helen Lord and her difficulties being accepted as a woman in the police force, Titus Lambert and his wife and their support, care and affection for each other, and his staff and friends. Even Helen Lord's personal life comes under direct attack in this outing, and the consequences of a change in her personal circumstances seem likely fodder for upcoming novels in this most excellent historical crime fiction series from one of the genuinely nice authors in the Australian scene.
(American readers note: Robert Gott will be with Sulari Gentill, Emma Viskic and Jock Serong as part of "On the Run, Australian Crime Writers in America tour" to be in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Arizona, Texas and at Bouchercon in October / November 2019 - follow any of them on social media for details (not Robert - it seems he's social media allergic, wise man that he is....)).

October 15, 2019Robert Gott is an exceptional crime writer with six books under his belt.
Mark Rubbo, Readings
This masterly suspense novel by Robert Gott had me reading all night. Although it’s the third in a series, this was my first — and it stands alone as a great individual read ... However, it’s the rapid-fire storyline and expert plotting that make this novel a quick read, while great characters and astute social observations will keep you glued to the pages and invested in the outcome.
Karina Barrymore, Herald Sun
The Autumn Murders is a triumph not to be missed: a gripping whodunit, elevated by the polish and style to be expected from its author.
Mel O’Connor, Echo
A pacy novel ... Gott does the wartime setting well, tying it in with the Joe Sable sub-plot, and the ending nicely sets up for the next book in this series.
Kerryn Goldsworthy, The Saturday Age
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It brought home to me many effects of the war on Australian society.

Another good one from Robert Gott.
I enjoy his characters and the storyline, gruesomeness and all. I also like all the little historical references to Melbourne, such as the Napier Waller mural in Collins Street as well as the references to Port Fairy and surrounds.
There is a touch of mansplaining, whenever Tom is mentioned his past experiences seem to be mentioned, once or twice would cover it.
Otherwise love it, it propels you through the story and the book and before you know it you're finished - roll on #4

Robert Gott's books are a pleasure to read and impossible to put down. Setting aside the well drawn characters and cracking pace, The Autumn Murders is astonishingly well written. This is hard boiled stuff, no doubt about it, but Gott is far too literary a writer to be mistaken for Mickey Spillane. There are no wasted words here, no empty descriptions and no mundane passages of dialogue. I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and can't wait for the next installment.

This is the third book in a series, and I had read only the second.
The setting is Melbourne 1944. Detective Joe Sable of the Melbourne Homicide division is a Jew and has already paid a penalty for that status in a severe beating at the hands of George Starling and an arson attack on his flat. News of how Hitler is treating Jews in Europe is filtering into Australia but the average citizen finds it very hard to believe.
Although there is a shortage of good detectives there is little belief that women can make good police officers or detectives and already Constable Helen Lord has been suspended from Homicide. Most of the men staffing Homicide are hardly the cream of the crop although Inspector Titus Lambert is a good policeman and a good administrator.
Recognising talent in Joe Sable, Lambert has promoted him to Sergeant causing resentment among other detectives.
And now a prominent Melbourne business man, Peter Lillee is dead, apparently murdered.
For those who haven't read the earlier two books in the series, the author has provided helpful plot summaries to bring you up to scratch. Be sure to read them.

It was gripping up until the very last page can’t wait to read the next one
June 20, 2019
I very much enjoyed the first two books in this series so I've been waiting patiently to see what George Starling was going to get up to next. Although I found the story to be a bit grisly at times, it was action packed, entertaining and insightful in the ways of policing in the 40's. I'm going to have to wait patiently for the next one now.

The violence was a bit too much for me, although I do like the main characters and the setting.

If the current rise if the extreme right has you reaching for an egg, or a milkshake, it's instructive to go back to a time when there were real nazis in Australia. Robert Gott's Holiday Murders series - this is the third - pits the Victorian Police's newly formed Homicide squad against a range of disturbed extremists.
There's good history behind this. Nazis were more popular prior to World War 2 than most of us would care to admit. Gott's achievement is to explore the twisted psychology of their world. Here you'll find characters like Hardy Truscott, a National Socialist who is a devout follower of Odinism, but who doesn't like to perform its rituals naked. Hardy is a disciple of a real life figure, Rud Mills, a Melbourne barrister who founded the First Anglecyn Church of Odin in 1936.
I am a big fan of Robert Gott's William Power novels, where everyone but the inept Shakespearean-actor-turned-detective knew what was really going on. The style here is very different, more P.D. James, with an emphasis on authorial insight into characters, motivations and reactions. It's not my preferred style in a crime novel, but Gott makes it work admirably largely because his characters are thoughtfully drawn. It helps that they must deal with endemic police corruption, chauvinism and homophobia, along with the anti-semitism and other religious bigotries of this time. It is not so long ago that rivalries beteween Catholicism and Freemasonry shaped our political landscape.
There are details of the effect of the horrors of war and their impacts at home, too. New Guinea veteran Guy Kirkham's night terrors, and an encounter between Inspector Titus Lambert and a gas victim of World War1 sharpen our understanding that the trauma of war goes on long after returning from service.
What sets this book apart is the sheer brutality of George Starling, whose casual enjoyment of his kills and the ease with which he commits them is chilling. Sadistic and calculating, he embodies the illogical hatred of his chosen ideology, and reminds us of its dangers.

The third book with the three characters main characters working towards a climax of events. I read the book over two days, it kept me reading wanting to see how things turned out. The descriptions of the actions of the sadistic murdering man we written so well, that I could fill in the gaps with my imagination making him more frightening. The lives of the two other main characters were changed from the previous book, due to the actions of the previous book. Although it could be read as a stand alone, I think if you want the best experience in the reading, you should read Holiday Murders, and then Port Fairy Murders before this one.
The climax was interesting, and although it may leave some annoyed, I was satisfied with the end result of it.

This (number three in the series) is less a murder story than the search by Titus Lambert and his team for the villain, George Starling who appeared in the previous books. George is a convert to National Socialism but that really just provides an excuse for his extreme, cold-blooded behaviour. I continued to enjoy the historical setting (Melbourne in the late years of World War Two) and the development of the detective characters. However, the killings that occurred towards the end of the book were very gruesome. Gott does lay it on when it comes to methods of despatching people! The conclusion suggested a new direction for some of the characters so I’ll probably read number 4 eventually despite this being something of a disappointment. Couldn't quite bring it up to the 3 stars.

This is the third in the Holiday Murder Series by Robert Gott. Set in Melbourne Australia in the mid 1940's, it follows the fortunes of Joe Sable who is a member of the newly formed Homicide division and Helen Lord recently suspended from her post in Homicide.
The books follow on one from another but if you read out of sequence there is a handy synopsis of previous books to help you along. George Starling who was the nemesis of the main character in previous books is once again wrecking mayhem and leaving a trail of victims in his wake in his quest to exact revenge on Joe - the person he hates most and blames for his misfortune.
Whilst these stories make for dark and sometimes quite grisly reading I find them fascinating as the characters are evolving with each book. I look forward to the next installment. The added attraction for me is that they are set in my old home town - albeit long before I was born but none-the-less the places they describe are very familiar.

I'm a fan of the Holiday Murders series and was looking forward to the third instalment. It's gritty, political and historically well-drawn, with the goodies and the baddies lined up. Joe Sable, Inspector Lambert and Helen Lord versus the fascist, larger than life, George Starling makes for interesting reading in a tightly plotted rather gruesome excursion into 1940s Australia. The ending opens up to new possibilities for Sable and Lord.
April 14, 2021
For the most part, tight, with some great moments of tension. The odd moments where third person narrative seems to move from observant to omniscient to overly omniscient (a little jarring) can be overlooked.
December 28, 2019
Whilst # 3 in the series this is the first I have read. Think I am intelligent enough that it will not make any difference. Writing competent enough to make this a fast and easy read.
April 6, 2020
Good finish to the series. High action.
June 1, 2020
A surfiet of murders, maybe too many, easy to get lost in the body count. Other than that again set in Melbourne in the 1940s
August 7, 2022
Gott delivers once again...fantastic.
November 5, 2022
Great read up to the last few chapters......became a bit 'Mills and Boon'.
September 8, 2019
I really enjoyed this book. Gott does a good job of building tension and momentum in a story. This series is more than a crime thriller, it is a study about incivilities, big and small, some personal and others with a much wider impact. It is an interesting time to be reading a story harking back to Australia’s history with racism. It contains within it a stark warning we should all heed about the dangers of extremism and bigotry.
But if you are just after a well written crime novel and you have read and enjoyed the first two then read it, you will not be disappointed.
