Story
Darren has two big talents: cricket and trouble. It is no surprise, then, that he becomes an Australian sporting star of the bad-boy variety - one of those men who's always got away with things and just keeps going...until the day we meet him, middle aged and in the boot of a car, and everything pointing towards a shallow grave.

More than just about cricket

Not an admirable lead character, but wanting to know how he got into his final predicament kept me going til the end. I hope the cricket industry is not as corrupt as the author depicted it. The narrator was a perfect match for the story.

I just couldn't get attached to the main characters. Too flawed for my escapist liking.

First read this book as a teenager. Listening again was like revisiting the idealistic romantic I was then, when good and bad was so black and white.
