   Is Maurice Gee a good story?

   • A great, terribly dark story. Maurice Gee has created a web of interesting and flawed characters. The peppering of New Zealand places throughout and windows into NZ of the past were interesting and enhanced the depth of the story. An uncomfortably familiar story from local boy Maurice Gee, writing what he's best known for, a crime story.

   What happened to Celia in Maurice Gee?

   • Celia's death and the violence which follows send Prior back to examine the past - a past that is as secret as his father's den in the old poison shed. Eventually the murderer is exposed, but not before a family has been split apart and old wounds revealed. This murder mystery is as close to vintage Maurice Gee as you can get.
