This novel trots along very nicely. A young man from migrant family reinvents himself, he’s an insurance loss adjuster and his life takes a turn when he arrives to find the client he is investigating hanged. It reminds me a bit of Philip Marlowe character. I’m recommending this one. Oh and don’t think this is a dark novel it certainly has it’s humorous moments.

I doubt people will be unaware of this book, it has been made into a very good TV drama which does justice to the book. This novel is full of interest and ideas that push the reader out of the comfort zones. I liked it.

A big split at the book club who found this to be a Marmite novel, average 5.25/10 but I liked it for it’s characters and setting, who couldn’t like a story about well diggers. Give it a go.
