4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the great hardboiled PIs,
By D. R. M. "wicmar" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Master's Mates (Cliff Hardy series) (Paperback)
Here in America we have our Travis McGees, our Spensers, our Doc Fords, our Lew Archers, our Elvis Coles. In Australia they have Cliff Hardy. If you love hardboiled first-person PI yarns, as I do, you're going to love Peter Corris's Cliff Hardy. Corris has written almost 40 Hardy novels and a number of short stories. Some of them were published in the US in the 80s and 90s, but are now out of print. Happily, Amazon has many of them available through 3rd party merchants. Master's Mates is as good a place to start as any. The Coast Road is another good one. Give 'em a try. If you do, I'm pretty sure you'll come back for more Cliff Hardy.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Always enjoyable,
By wild reader (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Master's Mates (Cliff Hardy series) (Kindle Edition)
I enjoyed this Cliff Hardy novel. I have now read three or four of Peter Corris's Cliff Hardy books and will read more. So far they have all been easy to pick up and easy to read and enjoyable.
They are very Australian. They are also the classic old struggling PI getting caught up in all sorts of wild criminal activity novels. If you want police procedurals forget it. This is one man struggling to understand what is going on, and survive it. As the previous reviewer said if you like the classic PI novel you will enjoy the Cliff Hardy books. I read his "Lugano" first but it's not listed here on Kindle. |
