 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Crime Scene Cessnock at Epinions.com
Ensconced in the famous bustling suburb of Bondi, he started off as a rather likable larrikin blessed with an innocent genuineness and an occasional tendency to wade into a fight when his temper got the better of him.
Unfortunately, by Crime Scene Cessnock, Les' 19th outing, he has regressed into a foul mouthed bully who thinks way too much of himself and is sadly outgrowing his drawing power.
I’ve read the first Les Norton book plus another later book before reading Crime Scene Cessnock and it appears to me that the easy-going humour that was present in the early book has been replaced by a more low-brow sort of aggression that caused me to dislike Norton rather than cheer him on.
