I found out about these novels because of the tv show which I adore. I started watching it on Netflix last summer, 2015, and didn't actually read the opening credits until this summer to find out that they were based on books. Naturally, I left my house immediately and bought the first two books and devoured them over the course of the next several months. Having had quite a bit of space from the first season and now a year later reading the book the ending was quite a mystery to me, just as one would have it.
After reading the book I can see how easy it would be to turn it into something for the screen. Greenwood offers rich descriptions of all the events, sights, and smells of Australia in the 20's in the life of a lady detective. I found all the characters well rounded with room to grow and I really enjoyed how there was always several layers to the mystery.
I give this book an 8 out of 10. All in all a very good read. Very quick. The books just shy of 200 pages. A good summer book.
