Reviews for Crocodile Tears
Leo Woods is a memorable character ... A sympathetically flawed rogue ... Woods is elevated above the run-of-the- mill police detective by O'Sullivan's sublime prose, which flashes with shards of poetry when least expected. Studded with dark humour, elegant in style and clever in its execution, Crocodile Tears is a remarkably assured first outing.
