Thanks - just reserved the first in the series

Which series? The 'Kill Your' series? He's got another one where the main character contracts to the FBI to help solve crimes in exchange for unique payment.

Yes - I've reserved Kill your brother

I've got quite a pile to be read at the moment (as is always the case) and never daunted by it so will see how I go with this one.

Thanks for the recommendations

A terrific read following the life of colonial Surveyor James Meehan. Largely forgotten but a critical player in the development of early Sydney in Hobart. No survey - no land grant. @kookaburra75 I think you might find it interesting.

I think I saw this on the NLA FB page. The author had gone in and signed some books

Thanks @RooFlyer and @Drakecula for the heads up. I know of his work in the past but will definitely get a copy of the book, to leave out on the coffee table at home. Who knows, I might even steer my grandchildren into surveying. James Sprent is another worthy Tasmanian Surveyor, who has largely been forgotten, although the survey stations he built on many hilltops survive today.
