"I thought I understood the lopsided nature of crime enforcement in this country, but I didn’t until I read this book. Eye-opening, required reading."

This is a classic action crime thriller that did get a remake, certain parts haven’t aged that well, while others make it feel more raw.

Told chronologicaly

Easy to understand

No humour simple straight to the point facts

Narrator is kind of monotone (1 more)

Mostly restricted to Australian true crime only

A very seriously executed true crime series

I really enjoy this podcast and whilst they dojt really touch on the most famous of true crime stories they do delve deeply into the lesser known crimes, which in some way's is better l! Whilst the narrator is easy to understand he can come off as very monotone and most stories are restricted to either crimes that took place in Australia or Australian's murdered abroad, now that do still touch on crimes committed elsewhere and one of those include one my favourite true crime stories told anywhere (case 104 Mark and John, a story about friendship, and an online relationship which isnt what it appears to be)

"The first crime novel I read that made me want to write one. It’s the original “American Psycho,” thirty years or so before Bret Easton Ellis."

Crime fiction at its best

It took me a little while to get into this book, but once I did I couldn't put it down! The characters are super interesting and the amount of detail and effort that was put in to make the background information accurate is evident. Also much darker than your typical crime fiction novels.

Album Favorite

"I love the fact that a West Coast pioneer took an East Coast approach to doing an album. Again, it's gangster to have a political opinion. He took that political incorrectness and made poetry out of it - to where again, it wasn’t 'Gangsta', it was 'Gangster'. I could appreciate that; I appreciate the business, not just random gunfire. There was a shock value to it. Gangsta rap now is just little kids talking shit; they’re going to get caught for their crime, they’re not being smart about their criminal activity. I like smart crime; white collar crime, but we’ve gone from the bosses making the music to the hit men."
