A week's holiday in Shoal Bay, courtesy of Price Galese. All Les had to do was help Eddie Salita get rid of a crooked cop. Why not? Les always wanted to visit Port Stephens. And nobody liked Fishcake Fishbyrne that much anyway. The first night in town, Les gets arrested by the federal police then collared by a drug-crazed, feminist author. The hit turned out to be a complete nightmare. Next thing, it's a night drive into Newcastle with Eddie to sort out a team of local heavies. Somehow in the middle of all this Les meets Digger. Sweet Christian girl from the Church of the Peaceful Sea. Digger is a fiery little enigma wrapped in a burning secret. Digger found God. Les finds Elvis. Together they journey to Virgin Island, discover love and solve a mystery.… (plus d'informations)

I can't believe that two people gave "The Wind and the Monkey" four stars. This was awful. The Les Norton series of books was a good money spinner for Barrett and closely followed the trope of Big Meat Head somehow gets the girl while beating some bloke up.

"The Wind and the Monkey" has Norton turning up in Port Macquarie, having sex with a variety of women, who all seem bafflingly attracted to him, getting into all sorts of not overly interesting scrapes and killing the odd person. Barrett seems to be going through the paces here and "The Wind and the Monkey" should be avoided at all costs. ( )

Robert Barrett is a well-known Australian crime writer. His stories are usually a rollicking good read, in the old fashioned hard-boiled detective mould. This one sold well when it was released.
And this one was exactly as advertised - a bit 'blokey' for my liking, with too much emphasis on the 'hard-boiled, macho' look. But nonetheless well written with some good character development and some interesting action. The descriptions of the Port Macquarie area were spot on - it is one of the nicest areas in Australia. The accidental method of disposal of the bad guys was a nice touch, as was the discovery of WWII relics after the earth tremor. ( )
