First, a young woman’s body is found in a penthouse suite in a fabulous new luxury casino-apartment-hotel. On one level, it’s a police procedural set in Melbourne, as the new head of homicide, Inspector Stephen Villani, investigates two crimes. TRUTH is such a rich book that it’s hard to know where to start a review. What better way to start the year than with a review of a book by a master, Peter Temple? His long-awaited novel Truth is published in the UK this month, and I'm extremely grateful to the unfailingly kind publisher, Quercus, for my copy of this novel. A very happy new year to readers of Petrona.
