‘Branscombe’ is the first in a series of detective novels covering the adventures of retired Det. Sgt. John Branscombe. This first story is based in South Australia and covers Branscombe’s involvement in the denouement of a corrupt police officer. However the real entertainment value of the story is the treatment given by the author to the various relationships that Branscombe has with police officers and ex-partners (marital and otherwise). Of particular interest is the relationship he stumbles into with a lesbian couple which leads him into a surprising situation. The story is tinged with humor and pathos and evolves quickly and effectively in many short chapters.
This book will appeal to most adult readers seeking escape with a fast-moving entertaining read.
