This is the first novel in the Charlie Berlin Mystery Series and won the Ned Kelly Award for crime writing in 2011. Set in post-WW2 Melbourne & rural Victoria, the protagonist is a pre-war policeman returning to duty while bearing the internal and external scars of his military & POW experiences. It raises issues of the psychological effects of war on both those who served and those who remained at home, and artfully crafts images of a post-war Australian society including rationing, culinary habits, and attitudes to various social groups.
Anyone for a return to ‘Lambs fry Friday’??
