A review by scribepub
The Unfortunate Victim by Greg Pyers
Otto Berliner is the Antipodean antecedent to Sherlock Holmes, but with more humanity.
Angela Savage, Author of The Dying Beach
Pyers has mined a rich vein of local history for this novel. His recreation of daily life in the early township is evocative, from the toils of the miners to the bountiful public houses of varying repute.
Weekend Australian
An exploration of character and the seedy underbelly of a small town. The wide cast of Daylesford locals introduced in the lead-up to the discovery of the murder is reminiscent of The Luminaries.
