Death of an Old Goat (Penguin Crime Monthly)

Rating:
Summary: Funny but not very suspenseful
Review: The murder-mystery plot seems to be secondary to the emerging details about the various characters. In fact, the primary character is probably the rural Australian psyche itself, and the individuals are all variations on that theme. To what extent is the book a satire of Australian life? I don't know; I've never been there. Is the book funny? Yes, wickedly so!
