Peter Temple must be one of Australia's finest crime writing exports. Wonderful clipped prose, bleak landscapes and tough, guarded characters abound in this utterly gripping, action-packed novel. Even a really, really bad sex scene doesn't spoil the entertainment. It's a one sitting read: perfect for a plane journey.

A gripping story through and through
13 May 2010
Format:Audio CD
An Iron Rose is the unabridged audiobook rendition of Peter Temple's suspenseful novel of country blacksmith Mac Faraday, who carries a burden from his life before he adopted a quiet profession in an out-of-the-way locale. When his best friend is found dead from a noose, Mac cannot believe it is the result of suicide. Secrets from his past bubble to the surface, and murder threatens those he considers most dear - to defend his life and the lives of those he cares about, he will have to confront the dangerous life he left behind, and every last vigilant advantage he can extract from it. A gripping story through and through, expertly brought to life by award-winning actor Marco Chiappi, and especially recommended for playing on long car or plane trips. 8 CDs, 7 hours 12 minutes, tracks every three minutes for easy bookmarking.
Peter Temple Fan:An Iron Rose
13 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The two most recent Peter Temple novels were delicious and left me wanting more and more! I checked out what was available and tried "An Iron Rose".
I have to say it was not quite up to the standard I hoped for but was still a good thriller with some interesting sidelights such as forging techniques, landscape gardening, crooked people in high places and realistic sex scenes.
I shall check out further earlier titles.
