A review by littletaiko
Bad Debts by Peter Temple

3.0

Purposely set out to read this book since it was set in Australia and I thought it would be fun to read a mystery set there. Outside of not really understanding the slang, it was a fun read and I enjoyed the mixing of a mystery, woodworking, horse racing, and debt collecting. Needless to say, the main character Jack is a very busy man. My favorite parts of the book were the bits about horse racing that had absolutely nothing to do with the mystery but provided an insight into Jack, his life and his friends.
