It's a murder mystery set in Canberra, with recognisable places and people. It's always fun to feel part of things - Cliff Hardy's Sydney is another example. There's humour, food, books, and a little romance. The writing style is gentle and charming; the plot is nicely complex without being too hard to follow. I picked a couple of twists, but there were still some some good surprises. I particularly enjoy the detail that many of the characters are non-standard sexually, and this is just ordinary and OK, not some big drama. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Marion Halligan at her light-hearted and wryly humorous best in a tale of mystery and murder, of beauty and yearning, and of a surprising love. A beautiful man, and all she can do is tinker with his prose. For Cassandra, an editor, books are easy. It's real life that's the challenge: it doesn't sit quietly and let itself be fixed. Right now Cassandra's life seems far too heavy on the suspense, while the romance is distinctly unconvincing. But that was before the murders started. And before she suspected that her own name was on the killer's hit list. Murder, match-making and the dark arts of book editing: The Apricot Colonel is Halligan at her light-hearted best.

This is a lighter read but this writers skill with language makes it enjoyable, particularly her comments on the art of book editing. ( )
