Boldrewood is rather hit and miss, with unfortunately more misses than hits. This novella was slightly better than his average - the plot was straight forward and not skillfully wrought and the characters were not developed to any great degree. But what Boldrewood lacks in skilled writing , he makes up for in creating stories that feel distinctly Australian. This is what I've come to expect from him, no more no less, and this is what you get with The Sphinx of Eaglehawk.
