I didn't like the voice of the main character, Ken. He was supposed to be in his early thirties but came across as someone in his mid fifties. The book was slow and ponderous until the last 30 pages when suddenly all the action happened and the story was resolved.

This was a great small town NZ murder mystery. A good read, some quirky insights into small minded NZ, and great twists along the way.

Really enjoyed it, great character development and I like the way the story unfolds. The mystery element makes it a pageturner. I found the last couple of chapters quite different to the rest of the book, and the resolution seemed a bit forced - it all tied up a bit too nicely. But felt very enveloped by the writing, and I loved the NZ-small town feel. Could have been Patea, Dannevirke, Bulls, Putaruru...

A lovely read with a bit of detective and a bit of human interest. Believably kiwi without being too much.
