Review – Voss - The Price of Innocence - Kevin Drum
Terry –
Congratulations for completing your first (of many we hope) Voss adventures.
In keeping with the genre the language pace and plot
moves along really well. It’s not difficult to stay with the plot despite the emergence
of the many different characters as events unfold.
I haven’t bothered to edit as in punctuation etc. as I
consider someone much better qualified and more proficient than I will
accommodate your requirements in this regard.
Rather I have focused on the story as a critical
reader.
I found this a very enjoyable read and relished the
Canberra underground porn scene with all its jealousies and competition as the
underlining reason for Estelle’s brutal murder. This is Australian fiction at
its best.
In the final chapters it was still ‘all bets off” as to who was doing all of the
killing and made for a gripping read.
I have been attending Wordsmith for around 18 months,
and I must say that of all the participants, you are the only one to have made
a major change of direction in your writing, and some most significant
progress.
From an ‘old truck seller’ to’ an old tractor seller’ from
way back I couldn’t be prouder of you.
May Voss, Una, Lucy, Eddie and Donna live on and
prosper.
Well done and I wish you every success and huge
enjoyment with Voss.
Cheers!
