"Some nasty characters, the murky setting and themes of corruption, drug trade and sexual domination amp up the grit factor. The elements are there for an entertaining crime read that is bound to appeal to viewers of shows like Underbelly. For me, the Australian feel (setting and characters) was the stand-out. Lawless is on his way to being a crime writer to watch."- The Blurb Magazine. July. 2014

Home Country is as droll, sarcastic, funny and boozed up as the outback its set in. An enjoyable read that features realistic, classic Australian characters as familiar as your own uncle.' - Australian Penthouse.

Fans of classic police procedurals will revel in the crisp storytelling, fresh setting, and emotionally damaged sleuth.' - Book Life Magazine.

Typical of TW Lawless, it's a no-holds-barred, well-crafted thriller, full of riveting characters and sassy dialogue. He weaves his own brand of irreverent humor through the book, making it a rollicking ride.' - A Most Avid Reader.

An absolutely brilliant crime novel from start to finish that beautifully pays homage to the importance of the indigenous community, and culture with plenty of laughs, and gasps along the way. TW Lawless' writing ages like a fine wine. His books just keep getting better, and better. - Sophie

I love stories set in Australia and New Zealand that capitalize on the unique landscapes and way of life. This story did that in spades, with a multi-generational tale built around an intrepid young American woman who, in the 1960's, took off for Australia and a whole new lifestyle in the cattle stations of Queensland. There's grueling farm work, family drama, fickle nature and the tentative attention of her employer's nephew Jim as she fits into the rural lifestyle. The romance brings both happiness and tears; this is a beautiful though bittersweet story.😪 - Avid Reader.

'An amazing story that travels across diverse terrain. It’s haunting, it’s funny and what’s more creatively follows an unpredictable conclusion. It is pure magic and reaches into the historical past in a way that brings history to life. One can’t help but engage with this story in a way that brings one’s own life into perspective. This book is touching in ways I can’t even explain. It’s only a matter of time before some Hollywood director finds this book. A lovely lovely story.' - Doug V.

To say nothing of good, fast pacing that combines with the characters and plot to make this into a real page turner. Having been lucky enough to read all three books in this series now, it's pleasing to know there's a fourth on the way. If you've not been lucky enough yet to dip into these little gems, then you really should rectify that situation as soon as possible.' - Australian Crime Fiction. May 2015.
