Peter Hosking
About this listen
Editorial reviews
Alby Murdoch wishes he was "parked on a cane chair" in Bali, surveying beauty with a gin-and-tonic in his hand. Listeners will be glad he’s not. During a breezy, action-packed, comic thriller that comes in at just under six hours, performer Peter Hosking treats listeners to a crisp, smiling Australian accent and a spy novel that scintillates with images ready for the movies.
In D-E-D Dead, Murdoch’s partner is gunned down, Murdoch is tripped up by razor wires and buried mines, and finally presented with a formidable challenge by the U.S. military itself. On top of it all, an irresistible femme fatale named Grace Goodluck promises anything but good luck.

Fun spy thriller
What made the experience of listening to D-E-D Dead! the most enjoyable?
Deep it isn't, but there's a lightness of touch and an almost ironic sense of bemusement that plays around the edges of absurdity, that makes the listening experience always amusing.
Any additional comments?
If you like your books playful and not requiring a huge intellectual investment DED Dead is a good way to pass a few hours.

Fun - but not the anti-American Sentiments
Loved loved loved this book. However, not fond of the negative anti-American snide remarks. However our heroine is an American. So, there you go..... I had to slow down the narration a hair as Aussies talk fast, and you need to slow it down to get all the humor. His other books I've listened to are favorites of mine, but a bit post-war dark. So this was so refreshing as to how funny the author really is. You have to be funny in real life in order to write like this.

At last! A fictional truth about 'Bitter Springs'
Geoffrey McGeachin won the 2011 Ned Kelly, which is the Australian Crime writers award, for another of his stories recently released on Audible.
At under 6 hours listening time this is a delightful race through the underbelly of spying in Australia. While the name of the organisation may be as fictional as The Springs, the joint US/Australian facility in Central Australia, there may well be a dark room on the 13th floor of an office block in Sydney.
Alby's thesis for his Masters Degree is on WMD to his boss's delight until the Boss finally reads the abstract. And just how accidental is it that Grace Goodluck looks just like a Balinese goddess? Even the obsession with culinary delights has not escaped McGeachin's humour. Who knows? Alby may be right about that US/Australian facility in Central Australia!
