Cliff Hardy the Australian Elvis Cole, Excellent !
Wet Graves is only one of two Peter Corris novels that I have read because many of his books are out of print. The main character, Cliff Hardy private enquiry agent as they are called in "OZ" is very similar to Robert Crais's Elvis Cole.

Not his best.
Peter Corris has a good, lean, tight style. He does not rely on cheap plot devices. Unfortunately, Wet Graves is not his best, although it is more easily found in the USA than others.

This review is from: Wet Graves (Mass Market Paperback)
Wet Graves is only one of two Peter Corris novels that I have read because many of his books are out of print. The main character, Cliff Hardy private enquiry agent as they are called in "OZ" is very similar to Robert Crais's Elvis Cole. Both have a dry sense of humor and live with cats.Unfortunately Cliff does'nt have a Joe Pike to back him up. (Joe Pike types are outlawed in Australia) Mr. Corris is an excellent writer, he develops characters and his books have good plots. His writing is (IMHO) not quite up to Robert Crais level but few are.

The new hard-boiled detective.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wet Graves (Mass Market Paperback)
Enjoyed this book. The newest hard-boiled detective, in the tradition of the Dashiell Hammett books. Great book for anyone who is interested in Mysteries and Australia. Takes place in the wonderful city of Sydney. Great action and adventure with a wonderful story.
