His partner, Frankie, is a whole box of surprises. He didn’t grow up on the shiny side of town and he isn’t a sophisticated sleuth like Sherlock, but damn this man has got heart and a Macgyver-esque survival instinct. I don’t know what he looks like (did I just not notice) but I know he’s deaf. I like an antihero, who doesn’t? I’ve watched every episode of Rake on ABC and Caleb Zelic is my kind of antihero. But I was also hooked on the story and don’t even get me started on the characters.

I’d been following Viskic on Twitter for a few weeks and her tweets about losing hotels and throwing her belongings down the loo had me in stitches. Not until I picked up Viskic’s Resurrection Bay. I watch plenty of Nordic noir on the telly and once in a blue moon, I’ll reach for Agatha Christie but contemporary crime fiction? Never. ![]()
