Title: Not a good book
Review: I had read and enjoyed a recent Douglas Kennedy book and, being from Australia and having lived in the places depicted in The Dead Heart, I was expecting it to be interesting and well written. My expectations were not realised.I can only assume that Mr Kennedy's literary skills have improved significantly since this (apparently his first published novel) was written. The Dead Heart had unbelievable, one dimensional characters and the depiction of northern Australia was so removed from reality as to make me think Mr Kennedy had neither been there, nor conducted any basic research, before he wrote this book.This is a book to be avoided.
