Truth, Peter Temple - Online Book Review

Truth written by Peter Temple is one very stunningly written and interesting crime novel. It involves a murder in a luxury apartment in Victoria, Australia. Inspector Stephen Villani is investigator for the murder of a young woman, whose body lies in the glass bath tub.

Below is very well written review of the book at a blogger at ning: "The central core of this book is the peeling back of artifice, of pretence, of deception and doubt and the revealing of truth. The truth behind a young girls body in a luxury bathroom; the truth behind the tortured men hanging in a backyard in Oakleigh; the truth about colleagues, mentors and political masters; the truth behind Villani's marriage, his runaway tearaway teenage daughter; his relationship with his brothers; and his fractious, terse, uncomfortable relationship with a father who he doesn't understand, and he thinks, doesn't understand him. Truth is a subject that the reader has to conclude is very very close to Temple's heart as well."
