O'Fear is 1990 Australian crime novel by Peter Corris.[1]
It was the ninth novel, and twelfth book, featuring the author's continuing character Cliff Hardy.[2]
It was the first Hardy novel after a break of a few years.[3]
The novel was read out on ABC radio in 1990 with John Derum as Hardy and Linda Cropper as Felicia Todd.[4]
Synopsis
An old drinking buddy of Cliff's, Todd Barnes, is killed in a car accident, or so it seems. After the death Hardy discovers he has been left $10,000 by Barnes to find his killer.
Critical reception
Bill Turner, in The Sydney Morning Herald, called it "a very good, solid murder thriller." He also noted that "Cliff investigates a number of avenues, closes a number of dead-ends and is left with the truism of the genre – it's what the players don't tell you that counts."[5]
The Chicago Tribune wrote "the writing is lively and professional but the result is a mildly engaging tale that could have happened anywhere."[6]
