Australia's favourite country cop, Hirsch, is back in this new edition of Consolation, the follow-up to Peace and Bitter Wash Road. In Consolation, Tiverton's only police officer Constable Paul Hirschhausen is dealing with a snowdropper. Someone is stealing women's underwear, and Hirsch knows how that kind of crime can escalate. Then two calls come in- a teacher who thinks a child may be in danger at home. A father on the rampage over at the primary school. Hirsch knows how things like that can escalate, too. Families under pressure. Financial problems. But it's always a surprise when the killing starts.

Treachery in Tiverton and the environs

I read Garry Disher's 'Consolation ' with ease and joy. The outback descriptions are so familiar and unyielding .In AFL parlance Constable Paul Hirschhausen is a utility.He is versatile and able to fulfil many and varied roles.Disher conveys to a tee the busy life of a smart yet empathetic policeman and the complex lives of the community.I highly recommend this book. It's a doozy.
