Summary
In 1948, a man was found dead on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, Australia. Well-dressed and unmarked, he had a half-smoked cigarette by his side, but no identity documents. Decades later, the Somerton Man's identity and death remain mysteries. From his clothing's missing labels, to the tiny piece of paper with the words Tamam Shud found in the fob pocket of his trousers, this cold case is brimming with facts that are stranger than fiction.
Written by one of Australia's best-known and most loved crime writers, this book explores pieces of the author's own past in an attempt to solve the puzzle, uncovering a new way of writing about true crime - and about herself - in the process.
©2012 Kerry Greenwood (P)2021 Aurora Audio BooksI really enjoyed the historical aspects of this book and feel that Kirsty Gilmore did a great job portraying Kerry Greenwood and sharing her stories of her younger life in Adelaide. The Phryne short story that followed was the icing on the cake. Although portrayed with a much broader accent than one would normally associate with Phryne, I feel it is conceivable that twenty years in Australia would eliminate a lot of the finesse in her English. Overall, I enjoyed both the story and the rendition. Kerry Greenwood is always an entertaining author to experience.
