Thanks for the recommendation, and what a great title for a book! It’s basically saying, ‘read me”
Great review! I studied some Janette Turner Hospital books at uni and you’ve inspired me to pick up her work again, thank you
I'd never heard of her! It's crazy how many excellent writers can still be completely under one's radar.
I've only read Isobars: stories. It was impressive. I do have her The Last Magician on the TBR. And agree about excellent writers still being completely under one's radar. Reading Black robe by Brian Moore. I had never heard of him! Why not?
I'm in QLD all week so I'm going to try and pick up some more Hospital and hopefully some other local writers I can't easily get back home.

You may already know them but try Archives in the city or Bent Books in West End.
You've sold me a book, Jefe. I will do my best to dig up a copy of this.
@zed, Thanks for the tips, I'll check them out!
@Justin – I hope you enjoy! It's a good, cynical thriller – reminds me a bit of one of those paranoid 70s movies about how the government is keeping things from us.
