I found this to be a pretty run of the mill mystery. Frankly I was bored through most of it and don't see what all the fuss is about. Some of the book cover type reviews indicated that I would be shocked and engaged as Harry's deep dark secrets were revealed. Well, not so much.
The plot itself was okay, but the characters really weren't compelling enough to hold my interest. And I got a little tired of the Australia geography lesson, complete with quirky animal descriptions. I'd reread In a Sunburned Country if I wanted that. Over this past year I've read some of the Dresden Files books, several Gamache books, a few of the Bruno books and The Cuckoo's Calling; all much better books.
