The Fog on the Hill


Oh dear. What started out very promisingly as an expose of the last seven years of Labour goverment in New South Wales, turned into Sartor's election manifesto. The first four chapters were interesting, but the rest is really only for students of polical science.

The Brotherhood


This was different to what I was expecting, but good.

Based around one single event, when Tasmania's super-cop gets killed in the line of duty, we see the aftermath through the eyes of a number of people; from the commissioner (aka the Prince of Darkness) down to the suspect himself.

Y.A. Erskine herself is an ex-cop so she write with an insiders perspective (I only hope Tasmania's finest are really as corrupt and backward as depicted here). It was a great read and I look forward to more from this author.
